        @Atul_Gawande What if patients demanded it? Made surgeon sign that he would? Insurers should at very least -- no reimbursement if not used.

        .@nyc118 Some states even pay hospitals to adopt. But like w/ any reg, we found they took $ but went thru the motions: http://bit.ly/SikPVn

        Agreed but I often see checklist done when no one is paying attention. @Atul_Gawande: death rate can be 1/2 if teams used a √-list.

        @Atul_Gawande Great checklist! Somewhat surpricing hospitals (staff) don't follow already. Please add spa-treatment on top of this list :-)

        @Atul_Gawande should prospective patients request to actually see a surgeon’s checklist? What else should be on the “patients’ checklist”?

        @Atul_Gawande Perhaps a checklist for patients to select their surgeons and hospitals would drive change?
