The Luzerner Kantonsspital is planning to start using SURPASS digital in September 2013.

This was announced on the yearly Nationales Symposium für Qualitätsmanagement

The Luzerner Kantonsspital decided to avoid filling in checklists on paper, but instead make use of the SURPASS Digital application right from the start. This will simplify the introduction of the SURPASS checklists within the hospital

Surgical checklists not only save lives by preventing medical errors, they could also make a big dent in medical malpractice claims, Dutch researchers say.
