 As scientific advances expand our knowledge base, it becomes increasingly difficult for healthcare providers to manage the volume and complexity of clinical cases based upon memory alone.

 Human‐based errors in medicine and surgery can and will happen to some degree to every veterinary practice and every healthcare provider.

 Veterinary medicine can benefit from a risk management tool that has long been employed by the aviation industry – the checklist.

 Checklists may seem like “to do” lists that are too simplistic to be of assistance in veterinary practice; however, human healthcare has paved the way in demonstrating that their use helps to reduce medical and surgical errors.

 Although checklists are imperfect, they open the door for dialogue about how providers can lessen the chance that an error will occur and jeopardize patient outcomes.
