We cultivate pilot compartmentalization techniques for use in educating surgeons, nurses, hospital administrators or anyone operating within a high-stress environment.
Our Mission
We aim to consistently improve safety and educate personnel through the use of checklists. Research shows that consistent checklist usage produces more reliable operating environments, vastly improved performance, and supports high reliability organizations.
What You Can Expect From Us
Providing a consistent safe operating environment has become increasingly difficult within our global world. Personal and organizational cultural differences, technology inequities, hierarchical perceptions and the rapid pace of operations hamper effective communications, especially when non-routine and complex challenges arise yet superior professional performance is expected. This is when safety is often compromised, for the sake of getting the job or mission done. Checklist Science seizes these opportunities to convert your organization into a dynamic safety culture that effectively transforms stress into execution and reliability. We develop, manipulate and amplify your performance through gained efficiencies.
