Significance of the Study

To ensure patient safety and minimize human errors, health care settings use multiple methods and tools to monitor the progress and changes of patients. The Patient Checklist is one of the commonly used tools in hospital settings to monitor the health status of patients. Furthermore, the patient checklist also helps standardize and improve the reliability of the care given to patients. Our study seeks to determine the accuracy and consistency of data in the Lung Center of the Philippines Patient Care Checklist. Correct nursing diagnoses and nursing managements rely on the completeness and precision of the data on the checklist. This is important to determine the possible future problems that patients may encounter or develop thereby allowing nurses to equip themselves on the necessary level of care needed by a specific patient.

Patient: The result of the study will help ensure that patients will be provided with safe and competent care by nurses.
