Implementation of a Checklist for Surgical Inpatient Rounds: An Observational Cohort Study
This checklist did not improve discussion in the surgical ward round. However, it improved the documentation of several items on the checklist (patient's medication, investigations, and concerns). This study identifies areas where checklists can positively improve the ward round and highlights the significant areas where improvements can be made.
