The Surgical Checklist Revisited
Journal Title: International Journal of Surgery Research and Practice - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
It is estimated that in-hospital adverse surgical events occur in the range of 3 to 17%. This paper reviews the use of surgical checklists as a tool for reducing preventable errors. It uses the work of Dr. Peter Pronovost, Dr. Atul Gawande, and the World Health Organization (WHO) to revisit the evidence-based proof that checklists do work in the right setting and under the right circumstances.
