This hospital introduced large print, wall-mounted checklist posters in their operating rooms (ORs) and specifically assigned the leadership of each domain of the checklist to a different OR group (anesthesia, nursing, and surgery). These inexpensive changes led to improvements in team engagement and compliance with the surgical safety checklist process.
