Complications occur in 3 to 16% of surgical procedures. According to experts, about 50% of these adverse events are avoidable. It is empirically proven that mortality and complication rates can be reduced by introducing checklists. In this study, the quality of completion of the new checklist, which has already been used for several years, was compared with a checklist optimised by the Quality and Clinical Risk Management Department. The new surgical checklist was introduced at the beginning of January 2017 in a hospital providing primary and regular care. In addition, compliance-promoting measures (training, etc.) were carried out to encourage the use of the new checklist. A total of 293 surgical safety checklists each (pre and post) were evaluated. With the introduction of the new checklist for a total of 8 items, the quality of the surgical safety checklists consisting of 11 items improved. In the course of the implementation of the new surgical safety checklist, there was no item for which the quality of completion was reduced compared to the old list. It was proven that the introduction of these optimised surgical safety checklists in connection with compliance promoting measures resulted in a significantly improved quality of completion. However, in view of the literature on this topic, it can also be stated that the compliance-promoting measures made an important contribution to this result.

The majority of new cancer cases are expected to be diagnosed in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) by 2025, and 65% of cancer deaths currently occur in LMICs. Treatment adherence, patient monitoring, and follow-up are essential to cancer care but are often not possible in these settings. Out Patient (OP) Care, a smartphone application (app) developed to fill this gap, texts appointment reminders to patients and electronically stores medical records confidentially. This study aims to present the development of this app and evaluate its usability and feasibility as defined by provider and patient experiences in the context of a multidisciplinary cancer clinic in Gaborone, Botswana. OP Care was piloted at a multidisciplinary team gynecologic oncology clinic in Gaborone, Botswana. The app was developed through an iterative process with feedback from clinic staff and physicians. The usability was evaluated using a cross-sectional survey. All staff members in the gynecologic oncology clinic, which typi app if implemented permanently (median 6; interquartile range [IQR] 1). Seventeen out of the nineteen usability questions, such as "I feel comfortable using this system," scored a median of 6, corresponding to "very much so." Patients reported that the reminder text messages were helpful (median 6; IQR 1) and preferred the text reminders to be in Setswana (median 7; IQR 1). High usability scores indicate that the app can be scaled up to usage in this clinic and others. Although patients appreciate OP Care, the option for call and text reminders in Setswana is indicated.

The penetration rate of physical examinations in China is substantially lower than that in developed countries. Therefore, an auxiliary approach that does not depend on hospital health checks for the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome (MetS) is needed. In this study, we proposed an augmented method with inferred blood features
