I really enjoyed http://atulgawande.com/book/the-checklist-manifesto/. Very interesting and at times frustrating. You ask yourself why more hospitals can't implement success described in this book.

I'm about 2/3 into the book, the idea is convincing, but did he put any example checklist in the book? He referred to many extant checklists, but there is no "Figure 1: a bad checklist" and "Figure 2: a good checklist, improvement for the one in Figure 1".

They are at the end, in appendix format. The final checklist is a checklist for checklists:

That's strange, my edition doesn't have appendices. Thanks for the page though.

Very good book. This book came to my mind the moment I saw this post.

Atul Gawande is brilliant! He also gave a series of wonderful lectures for the BBC in 2014. They're still avaliable online if interested.

EDIT: I pressed "update" with my sausage fingers before I wrote anything coherent.
