By Atul Gawande
A surgeon’s argument that the failures in modern professional work are rarely failures of knowledge, and almost always failures of applying what is already known under pressure.
Gawande looks at how aviation, skyscraper construction and investment banking use checklists, and then at what happened when the World Health Organisation tried a two-minute surgical checklist in eight hospitals. Deaths fell by nearly half.
