Significant increase of the amount of information in the health care system has the potential to lead to an increase in the number of mistakes made by health professionals. According to a number of studies, usage of checklists is one of the ways to reduce risks. Proper development and subsequent implementation of this tool can improve the quality of medical care and lead to a decrease in the number of errors. This article reflects the functions of the checklist and potential points of its application, the features of the structure of this document, and also presents the experience of its application.
