Reflect on What Worked When You Tested the Checklist Arrange things in order of anticipated difficulty. Start with the surgeon or service that you think will be the most accepting. Create a timeline. Be flexible. Give enough time to do the work. It always takes longer than people initially think. Assign a member of the checklist implementation team to the area that will be using the checklist. They will be available to talk to surgical teams and trouble shoot any problems.
