Atul Gawande's book, Checklist Manifesto, is an excellent source on the topic at hand. Surprisingly the author of statesman article didn't mention it at all. This article from New Yorker that was probably the inspiration for his book is worth reading. Interestingly, it draws analogy from the perils of not having a checklist in flying airplanes too
