In addition to ward-based checklists, the National Patient Safety Agency has asked all hospitals in England and Wales to implement a five-stage checklist for all interventional procedures based on the WHO safe surgery checklist (http://www.nrls.npsa.nhs.uk/resources/collections/10-for-2010/five-steps-to-safer-surgery/?entryid45=92901).

At the end of the intervention period, the following data are collected: expired carbon monoxide level, McGill Pain Questionnaire (both done in person), PACIC, PTSD Checklist, Stage of Change, GDS, and VR-12.
At the end of the six-month follow-up, participation in the study ends and the following additional data are collected: expired carbon monoxide level, McGill Pain Questionnaire (both done in person), PACIC, PTSD Checklist, Stage of Change, GDS, and VR-12.
Baseline data include expired carbon monoxide level, McGill Pain Questionnaire (both done at in-person enrollment), PACIC, PTSD Checklist, Stage of Change, Fagerström Test of Nicotine Dependence [ 36], GDS, and VR-12.
Stage Four: testing the checklist and data extraction The draft checklist will be tested/scored by all project group members using one of the guidelines as a sample.

Disease-specific tools in HRQL evaluation after renal transplantation include the Kidney Transplant Questionnaire (KTQ) [ 17], the Kidney Disease-Quality of Life (KDQOL) [ 18] and the End Stage Renal Disease Symptom Checklist Transplantation Module (ESRDSC-TM) [ 19].
The outcome was measured with generic (SF-36) and disease specific tools (End Stage Renal Disease Symptom Checklist-Transplantation Module).
Stage Two: development of a comprehensive checklist The checklist was developed via a multi-level process of searching literature, identifying domains, selecting instruments, ordering questions, testing and refining.
To further validate the checklist, the next stage was to contact researchers who currently had a NIHR HS&DR funded project.
