A prospective observational assessment of Surgical Safety Checklist use in Brasov Children's Hospital, barriers to implementation and methods to improve compliance.

Introduction: The WHO surgical checklist is a universal tool which has been shown to reduce surgical morbidity and mortality and improve patient safety; however, simply implementing a checklist in a hospital may not lead to its utilisation. We aim to evaluate completion of this checklist, and to investigate problems in compliance and methods for improving these.
