- The second pass acts on what the first pass built — a unit that now has a checklist, staff who know they are being counted, and a revised model — by moving the checklist from mandate to two-person verification, and adds case-mix stratification to the measurement.
This sourceReports a checklist-based central-line intervention across Michigan ICUs with infection rates measured per catheter-day before and across the rollout, the instrumented change-and-read structure the worked example follows.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
