Attitudes and perspectives on checklists
Supportive of checklists/culture of safety	Lack of engagement/perceived burdensomeness
“There is simply no replacement of a well-educated, committed, stable operating room team.”	“Time-outs seem to be useless. . . . I think they’ve quickly devolved into nothing.”
“Involvement of the surgeon to ensure that any process used is important, valued and utilized regularly. Everyone in room needs to be empowered to help keep the case safe.”	“I find that the continued addition of extraneous environmental allergies have diluted the value of the time-out as one can see team members’ eyes glaze over as impertinent details continue to get added to the lists of required items.”
“Fostering a culture where any and all team members can raise concerns or questions without fear or intimidation.”	“Our checklists have become so lengthy and arduous and mostly not relevant to our cases that I feel they do more harm than good by directing attention and discussed away from pertinent things”
