Error Reduction in Health Care remains one of the few comprehensive textbooks in patient safety. This updated edition covers key concepts in safety, beginning with the systems approach and the role of human factors engineering in patient safety. Also included are sections on measurement and interpretation of safety data, error analysis techniques, and approaches to improving patient safety (e.g., teamwork training and developing a culture of safety). The book's chapters are authored by experts in the field and strike a balance between background theory and practical approaches to reducing preventable adverse events.
