Capt. Sullenberger has quite an interest in applying the lessons learnt as a fighter pilot, squadron safety officer, and legendary airline pilot.. to healthcare. This was part of his consulting business, before US Airways 1549 made him famous.
In healthcare, checklists improve safety, but so do other procedural changes. If a pilot has a mishap, the FAA/NTSB always investigates. Hospitals rarely investigate patient mishaps (deaths, malpractice etc.) unless there is a lawsuit filed, and state medical boards rarely investigate either.
