Book excerpt: Ambulatory care organizations are challenged by medication safety, infection prevention and control, environment of care, communication, and other patient safety issues; however, most available benchmarks and initiatives concerning patient safety were developed specifically for hospitals and do not translate easily to ambulatory care settings. Ambulatory surgical centers, office-based surgery practices, community health centers, diagnostic imaging centers, urgent care centers, medical and dental centers, and other ambulatory care facilities face critical and unique patient safety issues on a daily basis. A Patient Safety Handbook for Ambulatory Health Care provides proven solutions for keeping patients safe in an ambulatory setting and addresses challenging patient safety concerns. The book explores seven system-level issues: patient-centered care, communication, medication use, surgical safety, infection prevention and control, environment and equipment, and staff education and training. It contains useful tools that educate staff and physicians about patient safety in ambulatory care: Easy-to-adapt forms, checklists, and solutions Critical lessons learned about which approaches work, which don't, and why Real-life case studies on improving patient safety in ambulatory settings Discussions on growing concerns in ambulatory health care, such as the following: Safe medication use, such as chemotherapy drugs and multi-use medication vials Anesthesia issues, such as undiagnosed sleep apnea, patient falls, and malignant hyperthermia Effective infection control, such as hand hygiene and flash sterilization

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the evolution and growing awareness of patient safety, many medical professionals are not a part of this important conversation. Clinicians often believe they are too busy taking care of patients to adopt and implement patient safety initiatives and that acknowledging medical errors is an affront to their skills. Patient Safety provides clinicians with a better understanding of the prevalence, causes and solutions for medical errors; bringing best practice principles to the bedside. Written by experts from a variety of backgrounds, each chapter features an analysis of clinical cases based on the Root Cause Analysis (RCA) methodology, along with case-based discussions on various patient safety topics. The systems and processes outlined in the book are general and broadly applicable to institutions of all sizes and structures. The core ethic of medical professionals is to “do no harm”. Patient Safety is a comprehensive resource for physicians, nurses and students, as well as healthcare leaders and administrators for identifying, solving and preventing medical error.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patient safety and quality of care are critical concerns of healthcare consumers, payers, providers, organizations, health systems, and governments. Although a strong body of knowledge shows that high reliability methods enable the most efficient, safe, and effective care, these methods have yet to be completely implemented across healthcare. According to authors Cynthia Oster and Jane Braaten, nurses—who are on the frontline of providing safe and effective care—are ideally situated to drive high reliability. High Reliability Organizations: A Healthcare Handbook for Patient Safety & Quality, Second Edition, equips nurses and healthcare professionals with the tools necessary to establish an error detection and prevention system. This new edition builds on the foundation of the first book with best practices, relevant exemplars, and important discussions about cultural aspects essential to sustainability. New material focuses on: · High reliability performance during a pandemic · Organizational learning and tiered safety huddles · High reliability in infection prevention and ambulatory care · The emerging ﬁeld of human factors engineering within healthcare · Creating a virtual resource toolkit for frontline staff

This book was released on 2011 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because close calls, often termed near misses, don't raise the same concerns about malpractice liability and may be less emotionally charged than errors that cause serious harm, they are a unique source of learning for individuals and organizations striving to keep patients safe. This book tells how to take advantage of these lessons to prevent today's close call from turning into tomorrow's catastrophic event. Special Features: * Foreword by human error expert James Reason, Ph.D. * Authoritative tutorials on what the literature tells us about the concept of close calls and their identification, relationship with errors, and use in assessing and improving the safety and reliability of health care. * 15 detailed case studies from a variety of clinical disciplines and specialties to show how health care organizations use close calls to identify and solve patient safety problems
