Effects of Checklists in Surgical Care - a Study on Complications, Death and Quality of Patient Administrative Data

The comprehensive patient safety checklist system follows each patient from admission to discharge with separate short checklists at each point of care: On admission to the hospital and ward (operating theatre nurse, ward doctor, surgeon, anaesthesiologist, ward nurse - 5 lists), in the operating theatre (here covered by the WHO-Safe Surgery checklist), at the recovery/ICU unit (nurse- 1 list), at discharge from the hospital (ward doctor, ward nurse - 2 lists).
