b Items are counted with the circulator visualizing the field and verbally participating This process ensures that all counted items are visualized and verbally identified

C Stop the line was implemented and education was provided On 062117 an email was sent to LampD staff regarding counting and speaking up for patient safety using C-U-S (1 am concerned Im uncomfortable this is a safety issue) This process was implemented to assure staff that if they have any concerns related to the count they are empowered to speak up and will be supported by management
