Description: |
Patient safety, at its simplest, is the attempt to understand, reduce, and ameliorate the harm to patients caused by healthcare rather than disease. The new edition of this paperback puts even more emphasis on what can be done to improve the safety of healthcare, nearly doubling the number of chapters devoted to the topic. |
Synopsis: |
When you are ready to implement measures to improve patient safety, this is the book to consult. Charles Vincent, one of the world's pioneers in patient safety, discusses each and every aspect clearly and compellingly. He reviews the evidence of risks and harms to patients, and he provides practical guidance on implementing safer practices in health care. The second edition puts greater emphasis on this practical side. Examples of team based initiatives show how patient safety can be improved by changing practices, both cultural and technological, throughout whole organisations. Not only does this benefit patients; it also impacts positively on health care delivery, with consequent savings in the economy. Patient Safety has been praised as a gateway to understanding the subject. This second edition is more than that it is a revelation of the pervading influence of health care errors, and a guide to how these can be overcome. "...The beauty of this book is that it describes the complexity of patient safety in a simple coherent way and captures the breadth of issues that encompass this fascinating field.The author provides numerous ways in which the reader can take this subject further with links to the international world of patient safety and evidence based research...One of the most difficult aspects of patient safety is that of implementation of safer practices and sustained change. Charles Vincent, through this book, provides all who read it clear examples to help with these challenges" From a review in Hospital Medicine by Dr Suzette Woodward, Director of Patient Safety.
