Description
This book explores the issues surrounding medical errors and examines the science behind possible solutions. It creates an efficient dialogue that will produce a more systemic targeting of the causes of medical errors and hospital-acquired infections. The author elucidates current challenges, including the complex issues of money and ethics. He uses statistical data to build the case for systemic change and re-confirms the fact that millions of procedures done without error is as an important measuring figure as the numbers of mistakes. Information on the June 2012 Conference on the Epidemic of Medical Errors & Hospital Acquired Infections in the US and Canada: the Systemic Causes can be found on the CRC Press Issuu page.
