Full compliance, according to the Joint Commission, includes  "active communication among all relevant members of the procedure team" during Time Out.

With LiveData Compliance Monitoring & Reporting Service, Active Time Out provides hospitals with advanced analytics for monitoring the Time Out, targeting areas for improvement, and identifying inconsistencies. Hospitals have the option of automatically integrating Surgical Safety Checklist data from OR-Dashboard directly into the hospital's medical record.
