Going Digital: Transforming Medical Checklists for Improved Patient Care

This panel is aimed at addressing the implications and challenges of designing, developing, implementing and evaluating digital checklists in clinical settings. Panelists will share their experiences with checklist design and development, and discuss how digital formats may further improve the impact of the checklist in a range of settings. This is an important panel to have at AMIA in order to engage the community in discussing critical questions about advancing the checklist mechanisms in increasingly digital medical environments. Learning objectives include: (a) formulate an approach for designing digital checklists in a clinical setting; (b) formulate an approach for implementing digital checklist in a clinical setting; and (c) evaluate the effectiveness and impact of digital checklists using both simulated and clinical settings.
