Editor's Notes
- W.H.O. wanted to find a very inexpensive way to reduce the number of after-surgery complications by making sure blood was available and antibiotics were there.
- Make sure the people who need to use it can get to it. To ensure the message got across, the W.H.O. team created YouTube videos, documents that allowed hospitals to make the changes to the checklist that fit their environments, and an app!
- Five to nine items in each Checklist section are ideal.
- Answers: I know my job, I don’t need it – Created with the understanding the user knows what is to be done, just double-checks important steps have been completed. Too many steps to document, either you know it or you don’t – Best practice is to only have only 5-9 most critical issues in each section. Just another procedure, no value – Knowledge your most critical steps have been completed is valuable. Don’t have the time – Should take about a minute to read off.
