“…Similarly, Laflamme et al concluded that electronic note templates are superior to dictation services in improving both the efficiency and the comprehensiveness of perioperative documentation (Laflamme et al 2005 ). A further benefit of proforma use includes the reduction in reporting variability such that greater transparency is achieved when it comes to reimbursement of procedures (Taslakian and Sridhar 2017 ).…”

Background On the background of the interventional radiology department of a tertiary hospital converting its periprocedural documentation from paper-based to electronic using a standardised proforma, a study was performed to ascertain the effects of this change on the standard of clinical documentation for radiologically-guided angiographic procedures. Using a retrospective approach, perioperative records were analysed in reverse chronological order for inclusion in the study. The standard for this audit was developed in the form of minimum criteria that all clinical documentation of angiographic procedures were expected to meet. Results The audit was performed at three equally spaced intervals of 6 months, yielding a total of 99 records. The baseline audit of paper-based records concluded > 80% completeness for 8 out of the 14 of parameters measured, with only two of parameters meeting the target of 100% completeness. The second audit cycle performed on electronic records found 7 out of 14 parameters demonstrating absolute improvement in completeness, when compared to paper-based, but with the number of parameters exceeding 80% completeness falling to only 4 out of 14. Again, 100% completeness was observed in only 2 of the parameters. In the final audit cycle, after the introduction of a standardised electronic proforma, performance improved in every dimension with 6 out of 14 parameters reaching completeness of 100% and the 80% completeness threshold met by 12 out of 14 parameters. Conclusion The construction of a procedure-specific perioperative electronic proforma can save clinicians valuable time and encourage safe and effective clinical documentation.

Avoiding and Managing Error in Interventional Radiology Practice: Tips and Tools

et al. 2020

While there are limited data on error in interventional radiology (IR), the literature so far indicates that many errors in IR are potentially preventable. Yet, understanding the sources for error and implementing effective countermeasures can be challenging. Traditional methods for reducing error such as increased vigilance and new policies may be effective but can also contribute to an “error cycle.” A hierarchy of effectiveness for patient safety interventions is outlined, and the characteristics of “high-reliability” organizations in other “high-risk” industries are examined for clues that could be implemented in IR. The evidence behind team error reduction strategies such as checklists is considered along with individual approaches such as “slowing down when you should.” However, error in medicine is inevitable, and this article also seeks to outline an evidence-based approach to managing the psychological impact of being involved in medical error as a physician.
