When you are ready to implement measures to improve patient safety, this is the book to consult. Charles Vincent, one of the world's pioneers in patient safety, discusses each and every aspect clearly and compellingly. He reviews the evidence of risks and harms to patients, and he provides practical guidance on implementing safer practices in health care. The second edition puts greater emphasis on this practical side. Examples of team based initiatives show how patient safety can be improved by changing practices, both cultural and technological, throughout whole organisations. Not only does this benefit patients; it also impacts positively on health care delivery, with consequent savings in the economy. Patient Safety has been praised as a gateway to understanding the subject. This second edition is more than that – it is a revelation of the pervading influence of health care errors, and a guide to how these can be overcome. "... The beauty of this book is that it describes the complexity of patient safety in a simple coherent way and captures the breadth of issues that encompass this fascinating field.  The author provides numerous ways in which the reader can take this subject further with links to the international world of patient safety and evidence based research... One of the most difficult aspects of patient safety is that of implementation of safer practices and sustained change.  Charles Vincent, through this book, provides all who read it clear examples to help with these challenges" From a review in Hospital Medicine by Dr Suzette Woodward, Director of Patient Safety.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Patients in the United Arab Emirates' (UAE) hospitals have, undoubtedly, received incorrect transfusions due to human errors. This could still be the case, given the persistence of the circumstances that predisposed to the said errors. The magnitude and outcomes of such transfusions remain unpublished and, thus, unknown. The consequences of the errors could have been death or major morbidity. Nurses stand at the forefront of preventing such errors and preserving patient's life only if they possess good knowledge and skills, and maintain positive attitudes with regards to the transfused patient. This is the first book from the Arab world that is based solely on field research undertaken in two UAE hospitals to assess nurses' knowledge and practice of blood transfusion. The results of the study highlighted interrelated individual, organizational, educational and societal factors that influence nurses' performance in this field and largely explain the root causes for administering incorrect transfusions. A set of recommendations for policy, practice, education and nursing leaders is proposed. This book is useful for nurses, nurse educators, nursing students and health policy makers. 332 pp. Englisch

Following recent high profile cases of surgical error in the Uk and USA, patient safety has become a key issue in healthcare, now placed at the heart of junior doctor's training. Errors made by doctors are very similar to those made in other high risk organizations, such as aviation, nuclear and petrochemical industries. Practical Patient Safety aims to demonstrate how core principles of safety from these industries can be applied in surgical and medical practice, in particular through training for health care professionals and healthcare managers.While theoretical aspects of risk management form the backdrop, the book focuses on key techniques and principles of patient safety in a practical way, giving the reader practical advice on how to avoid personal errors, and more importantly, how to start patient safety training within his or her department or hospital.
