A great example of borrowing innovation from one field for another. Doctors at a struggling children's hospital sent videos of their post-surgical hand-offs to Ferrari's F1 pit crew (see the GIF!) to improve. They reworked the process & reduced associated errors rates by 66%. 1/2

The diagrams show how the F1 crews used their techniques to help the surgery teams reorganize the surgery to ICU handoff. The paper is here: 2/2 http://asq.org/healthcare-use/why-quality/great-ormond-street-hospital.html

The Youtube video for the original GIF of the Ferrari F1 pit crew is here, and it is worth watching it (or the GIF) multiple times, each time focusing on a different person doing their job with incredible speed and precision.
