  title = {Good Catch Campaign: Improving the Perioperative Culture of Safety.},
  abstract = {<p>Although health care workers feel pressure to reduce adverse events in the perioperative department, a lack of education, communication, and leadership can prevent hospital personnel from reporting good catches. The purpose of this evidence-based quality improvement project was to improve the culture of safety in our perioperative department by implementing the Good Catch Campaign. An interprofessional team led staff member education after implementing a standardized electronic reporting system and debriefing process to occur after good catches. Staff members reported 391 good catches from all perioperative areas during the six-month postimplementation period. Staff members completed the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture before and six months after implementation; scores improved in five areas: communication openness, feedback and communication about error, frequency of event reporting, nonpunitive response to error, and organizational learning and continuous improvement. The campaign was a successful strategy for improving perioperative patient safety.</p>},
