  2. COI/Disclosure • I am a registered inventor of the VPIMS software per Vanderbilt University policies. • I am a minority equity holder in Acuitec, LLC which markets a commercial version of the VPIMS Perioperative Software Suite.

  3. For those who came primarily for the lunch: • Take a deep breath • It will all be over before you know it

  4. Quality Improvement • “Proactive” • Reducing the variability in the process • Shifting the process’ outcome in the desired direction. • “Reactive” • Non-routine events • Analysis and improvement

  5. Prevention… • VPIMS Applications: • Whiteboard • GasChart / Decision Support • Vigilance / Situational Awareness • Tools for event detection • Tools for tracking/closing events

  6. Preop Case Board CQI Nurse Charting GasChart Vigilance VPIMS Database-MS SQL Server Hospital EMR VPIMS Web Electronic Charge Capture Billing

  7. First things first: Prior to surgery, ensuring we have the right patient, procedure, side, other items present in the OR.

  8. Intraoperative Whiteboard(during time out)
