RESUMO
Despite the adaptation of checklists for specific surgeries being developed, there remains a lack of an available standard for an orthopaedic-specific checklist. Benefits of implementing checklists include cost-effectiveness as well as the ability to significantly reduce both mortality and complication rates in a variety of healthcare settings. The aim of this review is to analyze the evidence surrounding the effectiveness of checklists as well as recommend for the development of a standard checklist for specific orthopaedic surgeries such as total joint arthroplasty (TJA).
