The study analyzed the opinions of medical personnel of operational teams, with particular focus on the SSC coordinators, on the practical use of a tool to support safety activities, promote effective communication and cooperation in treatment teams. The questionnaire wasa research tool. The function of coordinators in the examined hospitals is performed by anaesthesiologists. Such a choice is not accepted by anaesthesiologists who indicate other occupations as appropriate to perform the function. Operational teams show great ignorance regarding the correct course of activities affecting the basic elements of safety, including the confirmation of the patient's identity or the surgical site. SSC is perceived as a form that needs to be supplemented, often describing it as an unnecessary obligation. SCC didn’t affect the communication in the operational team by itself, but it is certainly the reason for considering the organization of team work in the context of patient and employee safety.
