• 2011 ACCF/AHA Guideline for Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery. A report of the American College of Cardiology Foundation/American Heart Association Task Force on Practice Guidelines. Developed in collaboration with the American Association for Thoracic Surgery, Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesi (2011, background): “Observational analyses in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery have shown a significant reduction in perioperative death with the use of checklists, multidisciplinary surgical care, intraoperative time-outs, postsurgical debriefings, and other communication strategies (14,15).”
• Health IT and Patient Safety: Building Safer Systems for Better Care (2012, background): “Clearly some progress has been made with respect to specific processes, such as high rates of prescribing beta-blockers at discharge to patients presenting with an acute myocardial infarction (Chassin et al., 2010), and significantly reduced surgical mortality rates (Neily et al., 2010).”
• There’s a Science for That (2011, result): “For example, a recent evaluation of team training administered to surgical teams found that participation was associated with lower mortality rates in 74 facilities (Neily et al., 2010).”
