Interesting article in a current issue of the New Yorker regarding the use of checklists in medicine:
http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2007/12/10/071210fa_fact_gawande?currentPage=1
According to the author of the article, the implementation of checklists in the ICU "...has saved more lives than that of any laboratory scientist in the past decade". Wow.
