A surgical pause is a well intentioned pre-surgery procedure designed to reduce the likelihood that a patient may undergo an incorrect surgical procedure. However, the problem is that a surgical pause is often not taken as seriously as it should be and the surgical pause is performed in an ad hoc manner. Moreover, given the way in which the surgical pause is carried out, there is no way to enforce compliance with the spirit of the surgical pause and/or to check after the surgery that the surgical pause was performed with the requisite care and diligence by the health-care professionals in the operating theater. Many of the mistakes made in an operating theater can be attributed to not having a more systematic method for performing a surgical pause before a surgical procedure begins. In accordance with aspects of the invention apparatus, systems and methods are provided that may enable compliance to the intended spirit of the surgical pause and provide a record that a surgical pause was performed with the requisite care and diligence by the operating-room staff.
