The primary responsibility of the operating room nurse is to prevent adverse events and patient harm during surgery. Since most preventable adverse events are the result of breakdowns in communication and teamwork, or non-technical skills, training such skills should strengthen the operating room nurses' error prevention abilities. Behavioural marker systems operationalise non-technical skills; however, previous systems for operating room nurses do not cover the full extent of non-technical skills used by operating room nurses. Thus, the Non-technical Skills for Operating Room Nurses (NOTSORN) behavioural marker system was developed.
