PATIENT SAFETY

摘要

The goal of this book, to which 26 experts have contributed, was to bring together some of the most recent work within the area of patient safety culture and to reflect some of current debates and discussions which dominate the field. For instance: How safe are hospitals? Why do some hospitals have higher rates of accident and errors involving patients? How can we accurately measure and assess staff attitudes towards safety? And, How can hospitals and other healthcare environments improve their safety culture and minimise harm to patients?
