# Procedure checklist survey

Improve checklist clarity for routine tasks.

If nothing was unclear or difficult, say so. Skip questions about steps you did not experience; use not applicable where appropriate.

## 1. Which check was hard to interpret?

Answer: ____________________

## 2. What prerequisite was missing?

Answer: ____________________

## 3. What wording would make completion clearer?

Answer: ____________________

## Author notes / illustrative keys where applicable

1. Use this answer to locate the part of the experience that needs explanation. The example issue to investigate is: staff mark vague checks without knowing the evidence required.
2. A missing prerequisite identifies the condition needed before the checklist's first actionable step. State the approved dependency clearly, without treating completion of the checklist as evidence that the whole process is safe or compliant.
3. Turn the requested improvement into a testable next step. One illustrative action is: specify observable completion evidence for each check.

Interpretation caution: Do not substitute survey feedback for controlled procedures.


## Illustrative finding and follow-up

Observation: Staff mark vague checks without knowing the evidence required.

Action to test: Specify observable completion evidence for each check.

Follow-up: After trying the change, repeat “Which check was hard to interpret?” with people who experienced it. Check whether they still describe the original issue: staff mark vague checks without knowing the evidence required. Compare explanations and sample context, rather than claiming the change caused an improvement.
