Understanding Patient Safety: Volume 2 (PDF)

By Susy Cowen
Patient safety refers to a health care discipline that evolved in response to the increasing complexity of health care systems and the consequent increase of patient harm in health care facilities. The goal of patient safety is to prevent and minimize harm, risks and errors while providing health care services to patients. It majorly focuses on the continuous improvement which is based on learning from adverse events and errors. Patient safety is critical to provide high-quality health services. Skilled health care personnel, clear policies, patient involvement, data to drive safety improvements and leadership ability are all required for supporting successful implementation of patient safety methods. There are various situations which are concerned with patient safety, such as unsafe injections practices, radiation errors, venous thromboembolism, medication errors, diagnostic errors, health care-associated infections, unsafe transfusion practices and unsafe surgical care procedures. This book provides significant information to help develop a good understanding of patient safety. Its extensive content provides the readers with a thorough understanding of the subject.
