Review
"It’s a wonderful little application that could really save lives and it’s the kind of healthcare IT I love – dirt simple to get and use and it has immediate utility. If you’re a participant in any surgeries I’d recommend checking it out."

The WHO Surgical Safety Checklist has recently been reported to reduce post-operative mortality by over 40%.
This checklist has now been adapted into an easy to use iPhone App.
No need to remember the 19-point checklist - run through it on your iPhone.
This tool is designed to help surgeons, anesthetists, OR nurses and other health care professionals reduce the risk of surgical complications and mortality.
Designed for use in the OR, this software was converted from cutting edge research to an iPhone app within a week of online publication. Now that's knowledge translation at its best.
