What Happens If You Aren’t Done

Wave 2 of the Call Series

• The call series will be repeated two more times over the next year.

• The second wave will run from October – February 2011.

Hospital Sharing Network• We would like your help in spreading the

checklist to other hospitals in South Carolina.

checklist and implementation.

students from local universities about quality improvement and surgery.

• Have students visit hospitals in Fall 2011 and learn from implementation teams how they implemented and use the checklist both by talking to teams and observing how the checklist is used.

• If you are interested email us at: safesurgery2015@hsph.harvard.edu

TAP Conference• We will be attending the TAP Conference (September
