The pre-operative checklist serves three main purposes: to ensure the surgeon has considered issues related to the specific patient and procedure, to confirm key safety processes have been completed before entering the operating room, and to provide a quick way for surgery teams to share important patient information with each other prior to the operation.

The preoperative checklist ensures that the surgeon has considered issues related to a particular patient for the specific procedure, and confirms that certain safety-related processes have been performed prior to entering the operating room. The list also verifies that the patients history and physical have been performed, and that the surgical site has been signed by the surgeon. This checklist also functions as a quick way for members of the ambulatory and office-based surgery teams to share information with each other. Rather than search the chart for the history and physical or preoperative notes, anesthesiology staff can look at the form to see if the surgeon has discussed prior anesthetic complications with the patient, and operative-suite staff can confirm that the necessary equipment is present and is functioning properly.
