Surgery Checklist and Process Improvement Surrounding Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

Completed

Conditions studied: Chronic Rhinosinusitis

In brief

The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of a new surgical checklist in the setting of sinus surgery for patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and to measure the frequency of compliance by surgical personnel at OHSU with specific daily safety protocols before and after introduction of the checklist. The investigators hypothesized that the use of an ESS specific surgical checklist will improve the frequency of compliance by surgical personnel at OHSU to internal safety concerns and protocols.
