Thoughtfully written and soundly defended, this book calls for medical professionals to improve patient care by adopting a basic, common-sense approach.” ― The Washington Post. “ The Checklist Manifesto is beautifully written, engaging, and convincingly makes the case for adopting checklists in medicine, a project to which Gawande has devoted significant time over the last several years. It is in many ways the most personal of his books, a direct call to action to change the way health care is delivered through straightforward and simple, yet proven, means. Fascinating reading.” ― New York Times Book Review. Read this book and you might find yourself making checklists for the most mundane tasks--and be better off for it.” ― BusinessWeek. “Riveting and thought-provoking.” ― The Times (UK).
