Should you have a procedure or surgery in this organization we want you to know that we value patient safety. Therefore you may hear us performing certain tasks or asking certain questions that may surprise you. Even though we may know you we will ask you identifying information such as your date of birth or your address besides asking you to tell us your name. We take a pause or a “time out” before we actually start your procedure to assure once again that we have everything that we need and the entire team is in agreement. Only the physician performing your procedure will mark your surgical site.
