"The bestseller from the “Father of Patient Safety” – completely updated to reflect the latest developments

""Amazingly readable for such a wealth of important information. This book should be required reading for every health professional and every healthcare executive."" -- Christine Cassel, MD, President and CEO, American Board of Internal Medicine (on a previous edition)

Understanding Patient Safety, Third Edition is the essential book for anyone seeking to learn the core clinical, organizational, and systems issues of patient safety. Written in an engaging and accessible style by one of the world’s leading authorities on patient safety and quality, this full-color text is filled with valuable cases and analyses, as well as table, graphics, references, and tools.

Finally, the book provides a practical overview of how to organize an effective safety program, in both hospitals and clinics. The Third Edition has been revised and updated to reflect important developments in patient safety, including major updates on diagnostic errors"
