Résumé

Legal defense to litigation based on a surgical or anaesthetic accident can be made or lost on the basis of intraoperative charting. Plaintiffs’ lawyers thrive on weaknesses or glaring contraindications in the surgical and anaesthetic record. They cringe, however, when faced with well documen- ted records that demonstrate clear, concise charting that provides plausible or reasonable explana- tions for intraoperative Problems.

Active surveillance is the basis of any infection control program. Data collection and analysis of hospital infection statistics provide the necessary information to identify where problems exist. Once a problem is identified, the appropriate person then has the opportunity to take corrective action.
