There is an understandable tendency or desire to attribute blame
when patients are harmed by their own healthcare. However, many
cases of iatrogenic harm involve little or no moral culpability.
Even when blame is justified, an undue focus on one individual
often deflects attention from other important factors within the
inherent complexity of modern healthcare. This revised second
edition advocates a rethinking of accountability in healthcare
based on science, the principles of a just culture, and novel
therapeutic legal processes. Updated to include many recent
relevant events, including the Keystone Project in the USA and the
Mid Staffordshire scandal in the UK, this book considers how the
concepts of a just culture have been successfully implemented so
far, and makes recommendations for best practice. This book will be
of interest to anyone concerned with patient safety, medical law
and the regulation of healthcare.
