The medical team at Chicago Mercy Hospital is reviewing their preoperative procedures in light of issues at other hospitals. A meeting will be held on May 22nd to discuss additions to the written procedures. Staff are asked to review several preoperative checklist items, including signed forms, blood tests, noted allergies and reviews by surgical and anesthesia teams, to determine where they should be placed. The hospital aims to have one of the most thorough preoperative checklists in the region.
