Do you have a good checklist for writing good checklists?


The Gawande book (Checklist Manifesto) contains one. A few points from my notes:

- distinguish Read-Do- - Pause-Points - Read-Do vs. Do-Confirm - 5--9 items - Only killer items - No clutter and unnecessary colors - Wording simple and exact - Use language of the profession - Fit on one page - Has to be tested in the real world - Also don’t forget Communication checks
