This checklist was developed by a multidepartmental team in South San Francisco that wanted to streamline the presurgery process for patients. As a result of using it, 80 percent of patients are now being confirmed as pre-admitted 24 hours before surgery and the completeness and accuracy of admissions rate has hit 99.4 percent.
