"You can't just slide a checklist under the operating room door and expect it to work," he said. In a 2015 Northwestern University study, one provider stated that "if taking care of patients were the same as commercial aviation, I would never operate, because pilots don't fly into a storm. We have multiple patients being cared for simultaneously by nurses, doctors, PA's, NP's, etc. As we continue to see a shortage of these staff, this multi-tasking will likely worsen.” (20)Kenneth A.
