Advances in Patient Safety: From Research to Implementation (Volume 4: Programs, Tools, and Products)
Excerpt
To deliver high quality, safe care, health care stakeholders benefit from a set of approaches at their disposal. The approaches incorporated in this volume—representing programs, tools, and products to improve patient safety—cluster in five different areas: programs and collaborations, tools and procedures, simulation, education and training, and surveillance tools. Characterizing the attributes reflected in these papers illustrates the breadth of effort underway.
