Evidence-based strategies and interventions for improving patient safety culture in the operating room: a modified Delphi study

It has been widely recognized that improving patient safety culture is significant for the continuous improvement of quality in the operating rooms. However, this study affirms the disconnect between the importance of key improvement strategies and their perceived feasibility. This study provides managers, policymakers and healthcare providers with a basis for identifying evidence-based strategies that are required for improving patient safety culture and patient outcomes in the operating rooms. However, further work is necessary to identify how such strategies may be applied.
