Quality and safety in pediatric hematology/oncology

Brigitta U Mueller. Pediatr Blood Cancer. 2014 Jun.

Abstract

Many principles of quality of care and patient safety are at the foundation of pediatric hematology/oncology. However, we still see too many errors, continue to have problems with communication, and the culture in many of our areas is still one of worrying about retribution when mentioning a problem. This review explores why specialists in pediatric hematology/oncology should be leaders in the field of quality and safety in healthcare.

Keywords: errors; high reliability; quality; safety.
