Abstract
The chapter discusses the pre- and post-surgery patient care checklist and instructions for patients as it is imperative that any procedure carried out should be aimed at delivering a maximum positive impact whilst ensuring utmost safety with no catastrophic complications. Patient care checklist not only provides an opportunity to comprehensively evaluate or identify the patient’s conditions but also assists in appropriate referrals of healthcare professionals for timely management of a deteriorating state. Patient dos and don’ts instruction chart not only provides an invaluable aid in equipping the patient and care givers in providing comprehensive care but also lends appropriate education which proliferate the patients power of autonomy. Also, the aim of dos and don’ts is to improve outcome by providing the patient with a comprehensive information on pre- and postoperative instructions.
Checklists seem to provide a protection against such failures. They remind us of the minimum necessary steps and make them explicit. They not only offer the possibility of verification, but also instill a kind of discipline of higher performance.
