Inhaltsangabe

Healthcare organizations have an epidemic on their hands: Medical error is causing as many as 98,000 deaths a year in the nation's hospitals. And these failures are not due to unqualified clinicians or the lack of technology - instead, evidence indicates that at least 80 percent of medical error is system derived, meaning that system flaws are setting good people up to fail.
Achieving Safe and Reliable Healthcare: Strategies and Solutions provides healthcare leaders with a blueprint for building and supporting a culture of patient safety. It includes contributions from experts who have created comprehensive and successful patient safety programs in their organizations.

Reseña del editor

In the context that more Americans died each year from medical errors than from motor vehicle accidents, specialists in patient safety from around the US provide information to help healthcare leaders improve patient safety in their organization. The problem, they insist, is not just a few sloppy practitioners, but a whole system that needs changing. They discuss a framework for safe and reliable healthcare, components of a safety environment, establishing a culture of safety, and putting theory into practice. There is no index.
