摘要
The primary goal of patient safety must go hand in hand with the goal of producing reliably good aesthetic and functional results. The implementation of a proactive checklist improves operating room communication and takes the necessary step toward reducing the often neglected errors of omission. These steps are necessary if we are to ultimately achieve our goal of improving safety comprehensively in the operating room. (Plast. Reconstr. Surg. 123: 399, 2009.)
