Crap, I listened to a podcasts sometime last year about how using checklists in a medical setting decreased errors by a ridiculous amount.
I'm going to try to find it. But, if I don't, you got the gist of it:
Have a checklist, and stick to it. Don't expect one person, or even multiple people, to remember all of the steps off the top of their head.

- b4ux1t3 9y agoI'm having a bear of a time trying to figure out what podcast it was. It might even have been a YouTube video. I've been going through different permutations of search terms to find it. I'm worried it might have been .NET Rocks![1] They have a great podcast, but their episodes aren't indexed by Google because of their website structure. I'm gonna keep looking, and even check my home computer's history when I get home tonight, but I wouldn't hold your breath. Someone a bit above linked to a book that I'm pretty sure was the impetus behind the podcast I listened to, so it might be worth giving that a read.

It was actually in the press section on the book's web page. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=122226184 http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1222261...

- b4ux1t3 9y agoThat's exactly it. I knew it was something based on a book. I've updated my comment below, if anyone is looking for the specific radio show about it.
