Inter-rater agreement: four auditors scored all checklist elements, (1) use of checklist, (2) team attentiveness, (3) required duration and (4) proper sequence with Fleiss’ kappas of 1, 95% CI (1.0 to 1.0) for 30 randomly selected cases. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) for sign-in, time-out and sign-out ‘minimum time’ durations were 0.976, 95% CI (0.957 to 0.988), 0.953, 95% CI (0.917 to 0.976) and 0.999, 95% CI (0.998 to 0.999), respectively. ICCs for timed segment durations were 1.0, 95% CI (1.0 to 1.0) for all segments.
