DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
TheWashington 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.
TheWashington Manual of Pulmonary Medicine Subspecialty Consult,Second Edition
continues to be a concise and
practical reference, tailored for fellows, residents, and medical students rotating on pulmonary subspecialty services. It
covers both inpatient and outpatient management of pulmonary conditions with the same clinical practicality as the widely
popular Washington Manual of Medical Therapeutics. For this edition, the content has been revised to an outline format
providing information in a logical and readily accessible format and has been updated to reflect advancing technologies and
therapeutics.
This manual is the result of a collaborative effort of residents, fellows, and clinical faculty from the distinguished Washington
University School of Medicine and serves as a practical quick reference guide to the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary
ailments.
