Human Factors and Patient Safety
This book fulfils the need of doctors, medical students, and all healthcare personnel for information that addresses fundamental patient safety concepts that are not usually covered in conventional medical curricula. There are three valuable features. Firstly, the content encompasses the main areas of human factors and patient safety in short and easily accessible language supplemented by anecdotes from safety-critical industries such as aviation and nuclear power. Secondly, each chapter highlights the problems of human error and provides solutions that help to reduce the risks to patients. Finally, the coverage highlights the important role the public should play in protecting their own safety when in contact with healthcare systems.

This new ...
