Journal Title: Malaysian Orthopaedic Journal - Year 2012, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
In “The Checklist Manifesto”, Gawande talks about managing complexity. The practice of medicine is increasingly busy and complex. In today's medical practice there are literally thousands of steps, all of which must be done exactly right every time for a successful error free outcome. The precision and knowledge required for this are beyond any one individual.
