**Two types of approaches to checklists** There are essentially two types of [[Checklists]]. # Read, Do Read the thing you’re about to do, then do it. This is like a recipe. # Do, Confirm Do the things, then check _afterwards_ to ensure they are done. This is what’s employed in surgery centers across the world. These are probably less annoying to do. On a long enough timeline with any given “Read, Do” checklist, it becomes a “Do, Confirm” checklist. **** ## Source - [[The Checklist Manifesto]] ## Related - [[Checklists]]
