DESCRIPTION
The Washington Manual of Patient Safety and Quality Improvement
provides a basic framework of many common principles in patient
safety and quality improvement to a broad market of medical students
and residents, nurses, patient safety officers and pharmacists. Chapters
address a practical and multidisciplinary overview of patient safety in
complex health care systems, and each concept is introduced using a
clinical vignette. The text introduces models, measurements and tools
to assess patient safety and quality improvement, and discusses types
of medical errors, how to respond to adverse events, and potential
solutions. The book's overall purpose is to highlight specific issues of
patient safety relevant to different specialties.
