Download or read book The Checklist Manifesto written by Atul Gawande and published by Metropolitan Books. This book was released on 2010-04-01 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. Even in the immensely complex world of surgery, a simple ninety-second variant has cut the rate of fatalities by more than a third. In riveting stories, Gawande takes us from Austria, where an emergency checklist saved a drowning victim who had spent half an hour underwater, to Michigan, where a cleanliness checklist in intensive care units virtually eliminated a type of deadly hospital infection. He explains how checklists actually work to prompt striking and immediate improvements. And he follows the checklist revolution into fields well beyond medicine, from disaster response to investment banking, skyscraper construction, and businesses of all kinds. An intellectual adventure in which lives are lost and saved and one simple idea makes a tremendous difference, The Checklist Manifesto is essential reading for anyone working to get things right.
Download or read book The Checklist Book written by Alexandra Franzen and published by Mango Media Inc.. This book was released on 2020-01-14 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master both major and minor tasks—by going back to the basics and writing out a simple checklist. It will change your life. The checklist is one of the world’s oldest—and most effective—productivity systems. If anything, says entrepreneur Alexandra Franzen, it is just as valuable now as it was during the days of the Roman Empire, allowing us to tangibly plan our day and set in stone what we want to accomplish. There are countless apps and organizational systems promising to help us straighten out our lives, but often they only add to the madness and leave us feeling drained and overwhelmed. Learn how to: · Choose your highest priorities · Set realistic goals · Celebrate tiny wins · Feel calmer every day By physically writing down our tasks on a single piece of paper, we force ourselves to be realistic and limit how much we can do in a day. Too often, we cram our day with tasks and chores and leave almost no space for self-care or time with loved ones. We end up disappointed in our inability to complete our never-ending to-do list. Checklists help you accomplish what needs to be done—and enjoy things you want to be doing, too. “There are thousands of books on how to become more organized and productive, but very few have the heart, soul, humor, and gentle encouragement of this book.” —Ellen Fondiler, career and business strategist

Download or read book In the Checklist of Life written by Lynn McPhelimy and published by Aaip Publishing Company. This book was released on 1997-03 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author Lynn McPhelimy's inspiration to write "In the Checklist of Life" came from her parents, Ellyn and Joe, who eagerly talked with her as they faced the cancers that, in time, took their lives. This "Working Book to Help You Live and Leave This Life" is a friendly, non-threatening place to record the practical aspects of our lives: the numbers, the bank accounts and the insurance policies; plus the details of our material lives, a list of our stuff and the special stories behind it; then there are the memories... Remember when...? and Have I ever told you...?, and, for Lynn, there was the map her father drew to the septic tank so that, when he was gone, she wouldn't have to dig up the garden looking for it. "In the Checklist of Life" is a gift of enormous significance to a loved one-- a document of one's innermost thoughts on the life they've lived and their wishes for their departure. It is not a funeral planning book. It is rather, and more importantly, a comprehensive life planning book, "a baby book in reverse." "In the Checklist of Life" is for people with aging parents, for senior citizens, for people who want to give their families peace of mind, and for people who simply want their lives in order. It's for professionals: hospice and Alzheimer's counselors, family therapists, grief counselors, lawyers, accountants, and clergymen. It's for anyone who has lost a loved one. If you think about it: We plan our daily lives. We plan our careers. We plan our vacations months ahead. We plan our retirement. But we stop there, and leave our loved ones to suffer for our lack of-- or our aversion to-- planning to leave this life. ""In the Checklist of Life" is a wonderful book. Its simplicity reaches to the center of our deepest anxieties, not fear of dying, but of leaving this life without putting it in order. It is a treasure for anyone who has loved ones, anyone who has worried about 'what would happen if...'" --C. Sosnowski, M.F.T., C.P.P.
Download or read book Checklist Complete written by Gary Carter and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-20 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title CHECKLIST COMPLETE derives from the Delta Air Lines practice of concluding each checklist with that phrase, stated aloud, signifying all steps on a checklist have been fulfilled. Former naval officer Captain Gary Carter (USN, Ret) began his over 40-year aviation journey by enlisting in the navy after high school, which lead to graduation from the U.S. Naval Academy. Following flight training and assignment to the navy's S-3 Viking aircraft, his naval career gained momentum with his first deployment and subsequent duties, including command of an S-3 squadron and service as navigator aboard the USS Nimitz (CVN-68). He followed nearly 25 years on active duty with a 21-month stint at a regional airline and then joined Delta Air Lines. He flew Boeing aircraft for over 16 years, first as a 727 flight engineer and then as a copilot on the 737-200 and -300, and the 757 and 767. Highlighted here are some of the many incidences and experiences that stood out during Carter's remarkable career, reflecting the broad range of events one can encounter in the world of aviation. CHECKLIST COMPLETE contains captivating stories and eventful sagas and provides an intriguing glimpse into a life strongly associated with airplanes.

Download or read book Checklist for Change written by Robert Zemsky and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2013-08-20 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost every day American higher education is making news with a list of problems that includes the incoherent nature of the curriculum, the resistance of the faculty to change, and the influential role of the federal government both through major investments in student aid and intrusive policies. Checklist for Change not only diagnoses these problems, but also provides constructive recommendations for practical change. Robert Zemsky details the complications that have impeded every credible reform intended to change American higher education. He demythologizes such initiatives as the Morrill Act, the GI Bill, and the Higher Education Act of 1972, shedding new light on their origins and the ways they have shaped higher education in unanticipated and not commonly understood ways. Next, he addresses overly simplistic arguments about the causes of the problems we face and builds a convincing argument that well-intentioned actions have combined to create the current mess for which everyone is to blame. Using provocative case studies, Zemsky describes the reforms being implemented at a few institutions with the hope that these might serve as harbingers of the kinds of change needed: the University of Minnesota at Rochester’s compact curriculum in the health sciences only, Whittier College’s emphasis on learning outcomes, and the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh’s coherent overall curriculum. In conclusion, Zemsky describes the principal changes that must occur not singly but in combination. These include a fundamental recasting of federal financial aid; new mechanisms for better channeling the competition among colleges and universities; recasting the undergraduate curriculum; and a stronger, more collective faculty voice in governance that defines not why, but how the enterprise must change.
