A 'paperless' wall-mounted surgical safety checklist with migrated leadership can improve compliance and team engagement.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The discharge letter is the primary means of communication at patient discharge, yet discharge letters are often not completed on time. A multifaceted intervention was performed to improve communication in patient hand-off from the intensive care unit (ICU) to the wards by improving the timeliness of dischar...
