How powerful and influential can a checklist be?
Atul Gawande’s book, The Checklist Manifesto introduces the checklist: a modified solution to help professionals absorb and master how they execute certain essential tasks that define their responsibilities in their respective industries. Present-day roles in the industry are more intricate in nature, prompting more rigorous training and technology at a more advanced level. However, training and technological advancement are simply not always sufficient.
Gawande’s alternative and simplistic solution is based on a checklist that was originally introduced by the American Air Force. This checklist served as a guide to help pilots in maneuvering sophisticated types of aircrafts.
Modified into an innovative checklist that suits modern-day industries and professions, it became an effective tool that equipped doctors and nurses worldwide in delivering quick, complete and professional response to all types of accidents and calamities.
Aside from the healthcare industry, Gawande’s checklist eventually benefitted businesses such as skyscraper construction and investment banking, along with life-saving protocols involved in disaster response procedures. From Austria to Michigan, real-life accounts of how the checklist has been tremendously helpful are disclosed. These accounts include how an emergency checklist was a key factor in saving a drowning patient who had been submerged underwater for approximately 30 minutes; as well how a cleanliness checklist implemented in intensive care units was instrumental in eradicating a life-threatening infection commonly contracted in hospitals.
Gawande, a public health researcher, surgeon and writer, further explains the way checklists trigger urgent and outstanding progress especially in professions where time, precision and efficiency are crucial.
The struggle is over for the hardworking workforce of today’s industries. The Checklist Manifesto is the perfect book for people striving to reach the level of competence needed in executing the undertakings that come with their job.
