Postoperative Checklist for Hospital Care

Complications are a common and accepted risk of surgery. Failure to optimize the management of patients who suffer postoperative morbidity may result in poorer surgical outcomes. Checklist use resulted in significantly improved standardization, evidence-based management of postoperative complications, and quality of ward rounds. Simulation-based piloting aided appropriate use of checklists and staff engagement. Checklists represent a low-cost intervention to reduce rates of failure to rescue and to improve patient care.手术并发症是外科手术中常见且公认的风险。若未对出现术后并发症的患者优化管理，可能导致更差的手术预后。核查清单（Checklist）的应用可显著提升术后并发症管理的标准化水平、循证性与病房查房质量。基于模拟的试点演练有助于规范核查清单的使用，并提升医护人员的参与度。核查清单是一项低成本干预措施，可降低抢救失败率并改善患者照护质量。
