1 Preventing and Responding to Sentinel Events in Surgery Beverly Kirchner, BSN, RN, CNOR, CASC April 2014 Financial Disclosure I DO NOT have an actual, potential or perceived conflict of interest to disclose Learning Objectives: 1. Define the term Sentinel Event. 2. Identify potential Sentinel Event hazards in the Operating Room 3. Discuss ways to prevent a Sentinel Event in the OR 4. Describe the process to follow if a Sentinel Event occurs 1
2 Definition of Sentinel Event A sentinel event is an unexpected occurrence involving death or serious physical or psychological injury, or the risk thereof. Serious injury specifically includes loss of limb or function. The phrase or the risk thereof includes any process variation for which a recurrence would carry a significant chance of a serious adverse outcome. Definition of Sentinel Event Such events are called sentinel because they signal the need for immediate investigation and response. The terms sentinel event and medical error are not synonymous; not all sentinel events occur because of an error and not all errors result in sentinel events. Sentinel Events Reportable to Joint Commission Invasive procedures, including surgery, on the wrong patient, on the wrong site, or the wrong procedure# Unintended retention of a foreign object in a patient after surgery or other invasive procedures 2
3 Sentinel Events Reportable to Joint Commission Prolonged fluoroscopy with cumulative dose >1,500 rads to a single field or any delivery of radiotherapy to the wrong body region or >25% above the planned radiotherapy dose Hemolytic transfusion reaction involving administration of blood or blood products having major blood group incompatibilities (ABO, Rh, other blood groups) Abduction of any patient receiving care, treatment, or services Sentinel Events Reportable to Joint Commission Rape, assault (leading to death or permanent loss of function), or homicide of any patient receiving care, treatment, or services** Rape, assault (leading to death or permanent loss of function), or homicide of a staff member, licensed independent practitioner, visitor, or vendor while on site at the health care organization Sentinel Events That Are Not Reviewable Under Joint Commission s Under Joint Commission s Policy Note: This list may not apply to all settings.
