This reminds me of the book The Checklist Manifesto and the show Air Crash Investigation.

My first thought when I read the title was "Sounds a lot like the non-normal checklists they use in aviation" :D

I was also about to come here and say "this sounds a lot like a checklist". The Checklist Manifesto is one of those books that should be really boring but is both valuable and well written and I recommend to everyone.

The book is overlong for what it has to say, and stuffed with things that are not really checklists (architect's building plans).

Fortunately there is a better version with not just all the meat, but also the best anecdotes included: Gawande's original article in The New Yorker.
