This was an excellent and inspiring book about the importance of looking at our failures and mistakes and finding ways to improve ourselves with this information. Based on the airline industries use of checklists to ensure safe travel for their passengers, Gawande uses this same methodology in the operating room in hopes of improving outcomes. The study was conducted internationally and the results were very interesting. A great read which pulls together a lot of stories from a variety of industries to essentially challenge us in our own work/world to use a simple, refined tool (checklists) to improve our own outcomes and foster self-improvement.
