Ten years of checklists have improved surgical safety A checklist for surgical teams developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) and introduced within the NHS 10 years ago has saved countless lives and improved outcomes for patients, NHS England says.
The Surgical Safety Checklist is a simple tool designed to improve communication and teamwork by bringing together the surgeons, anaesthesia providers and nurses involved in care to confirm that critical safety measures are performed before, during and after an operation. It was launched by the WHO in June 2008, with substantial input from UK clinicians, and mandated for use in the NHS in January 2009. OnMedica
