I learned about checklists (versus to do lists) from Dr. Atul Gawande. He has done a great deal of work on checklists in medicine because of the complexity in the field and as a way to force/facilitate communication. He wrote The Checklist Manifesto - How to Get Things Right, has been interviewed a gazillion times about the need for the surgical checklist, and talks extensively about the challenges associated with getting hospitals and medical practices to adopt the surgical checklist. NPR's Atul Gawande's Checklist For Surgery Success [1] is a short version of the problem, challenges, inspiration, and solution. And more recently, look forward to Captain Steeeve [2] talking about checklists pilots use.
