| Abstract | ||
| Checklists have been widely used in aviation and healthcare industries as a measure of quality assurance and enhancing uniformity in standard of care as prompting in checklists reduces human error.They have been shown to greatly improve safety as it moves away from the reliance of human memory for standard procedures. The ICU is a fast-paced environment that inherently poses high risks to patients. ICU patients are particularly vulnerable due to the need for multiple invasive procedures, and ICU care itself can lead to complications, potentially prolonging ICU stay and increasing morbidity and mortality. For this reason, ICU bundles of care were developed to minimise ICU complications and enhance patient outcomes. The Alexandria University ICU checklist was designed around ICU bundles of care and evidence-based practices that have been proven to improve the quality of ICU care. Aim This study aimed to implement a checklist in the daily rounds within the intensive care unit and assess the impact of the checklist use on patient outcomes. The checklist was used as a quality improvement tool, and a study was done to determine its impact to patient care within the ICU. | ||
