Channel: Patient Safety Movement
Date: 2019-01-23

Dr James Cappon of CHOC Children's Hospital describes in detail the geographic and social characteristics of CHOC hospital. Placing emphasis on the quantity of children within the region, he stresses the idea of using checklists as a method of standardization, organization, and communication. Earlier in the year, CHOC had modified the Executive Summary in the APSS into a form of checklists and since then, they have greatly expanded the checklist approach. Because of CHOC's commitment to all APSS relevant to their hospital, the organization has managed to save 49 lives. As an anecdote, Dr Cappon mentioned Dr Nick Annis, who inspired him in his medical journey through his frequent use of these checklists.
