checklist (lista de comprobación)

Contexto del término A similar level of success was achieved through implementation of a surgical safety checklist, which included specific steps during induction of anesthesia, surgical timeout, and transfer of the patient out of the operating room. Initial studies achieved reductions in surgical mortality and morbidity across a wide range of clinical settings. Further research has investigated the use of checklists to improve patient outcomes in obstetrics, intensive care, trauma, dentistry and chemotherapy, and at hospital discharge and during in-hospital handoffs.
