I can sorta understand the concerns, but when the shutdown seemed more concerned about limiting doctor and hospital liability than with continuing to produce good patient outcomes, I don't have much sympathy for the position.
I wonder now what would happen if say a patient died of a line infection, and their family sued the hospital for not following a simple procedure that would have saved them? There's enough data now to support a claim that not using the checklists might form malpractice and negligence...
