Ong APC, Devcich DA, Hannam J, et al. A 'paperless' wall-mounted surgical safety checklist with migrated leadership can improve compliance and team engagement. BMJ Qual Saf. 2016;25(12):971-976. doi:10.1136/bmjqs-2015-004545.
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.
