Making Healthcare Safe
This unique and engaging open access title provides a compelling and ground-breaking account of the patient safety movement in the United States, told from the perspective of one of its most prominent leaders, and arguably the movement’s founder, Lucian L. Leape, MD. Covering the growth of the field from the late 1980s to 2015, Dr. Leape details the developments, actors, organizations, research, and policy-making activities that marked the evolution and major advances of patient safety in this time span. In addition, and perhaps most importantly, this book not only comprehensively details how and why human and systems errors too often occur in the process of providing health care, it also ...
Leape Years
Set in Liverpool during World War II, this novel follows the unusual life of one family from the point of view of Peter Leape, a sensitive and imaginative boy from a working-class background who struggles to free himself from his family’s social and religious bigotry. When older brother Frank, who monopolizes his mother’s love, joins the Royal Air Force instead of entering the priesthood, Peter enters the seminary in his place in the hopes of attaining some love and attention. Instead, Peter is terrorized by the overbearing Father Prefect and the other German priests who run the order. A sexual misadventure with a GI during a holiday and a subsequent family tragedy help Peter out of the seminary, leading to a variety of jobs and even more sexual encounters. When Peter abandons religion, he breaks the heart of the Catholic girl who loves him, and eventually faces reality in the form of a life-changing experience. Both comic and tragic, this story, which satirizes the narrator and sympathizes with him, provides insight into postwar life.

The Best Practice
In the late 1990s, treatment-related deaths or ''complications'' were the fifth leading cause of death for Americans. Yet healthcare practitioners decried attempts to standardize treatment. ''We're working with people, not cars,'' they said. The result: an epidemic of preventable mistakes in a medical landscape where patients wait for hours in ''emergency'' rooms, fill out the same paperwork at each visit, and increasingly run the risk of being dosed with the wrong medication or having the wrong limb amputated. These problems spurred a group of dedicated physicians like Paul Batalden and Don Berwick to study the concepts of ''quality improvement'' used at Toyota and NASA, and to dare to apply them to the practice of medicine. This book tells their story, and how these ''heretical'' ideas have blossomed into a movement, bringing the focus back to where it should have always been: the patient.
While We Were Sleeping
Public health has made our lives safer-often behind the scenes, without our knowledge, that is, "while we were sleeping." In more than sixty success stories, this book powerfully illuminates how public health works. It also profiles dozens of individuals who have made important contributions to safety and health in a range of social arenas. Highlighting examples from the United States and other countries, While we were sleeping will inform a wide audience of readers about what public health actually does and at the same time will inspire a new generation to make the world a safer place.
