Books by Atul Gawande, Checklist Manifesto, Being Mortal, Complications, Better

The New York Times bestselling author of Being Mortal and Complications reveals the surprising power of the ordinary checklist

We live in a world of great and increasing complexity, where even the most expert professionals struggle to master the tasks they face. Longer training, ever more advanced technologies—neither seems to prevent grievous errors.

But in a hopeful turn, acclaimed surgeon and writer Atul Gawande finds a remedy in the humblest and simplest of techniques: the checklist. First introduced decades ago by the U.S. Air Force, checklists have enabled pilots to fly aircraft of mind-boggling sophistication. Now innovative checklists are being adopted in hospitals around the world, helping doctors and nurses respond to everything from flu epidemics to avalanches. 

Gawande “elegantly describes the history of the checklist as a quality and safety tool, emphasizing its effectiveness in reducing errors in complex scenarios like medicine, aviation, and construction”​
—New York Times Book Review
