Checklist Mania

The WHO just posted this article in their Media Centre:

Surgery Checklist

And this just showed up in the Seattle Times:

University of Washington Using Surgical Checklist

Of course, the NYT:

W.H.O. Issues a Checklist

Atul Gawande, the doctor who wrote the New Yorker article that inspired my checklist internship, is taking the checklist concept to operating rooms all over the world, including developing countries.  Cannot believe it.  Obsessed.
