The lack of adoption of checklists has bugged me for a long time now. I actually haven't heard of them in regards to infection rates, but rather surgery mishaps (I think that was Gawande). It's really disappointing that something so simple, with such clearly positive results, has yet to become mainstream practice. We make our commercial pilots use them; I wish we would mandate that our surgeons used them, too.
