A study of preperation of checklists of various service departments of a tertiary care hospital

Document from the year 2009 in the subject Organisation and administration - Miscellaneous, , course: MHA, language: English, abstract: Human error is inevitable-particularly under stressful conditions. It has been demonstrated that levels of cognitive function are compromised as stress and fatigue levels increase, as is often the norm in certain complex, high-intensity fields of work. This can lead to increased errors in judgment, decreased compliance with standard procedures, and decreased proficiency. An important tool in error management across all of these fields is the checklist, a key instrument in reducing the risk of costly mistakes and improving overall outcomes.
