Clinical Oncology and Error Reduction fills a gap - the lack of a
single volume on medical error in the vast field of cancer care -
that has existed since a 1999 Institute of Medicine's report
introduced the term 'medical error' as a topic for doctors and
patients alike. The volume, edited by Antonella Surbone, M.D., a
clinical oncologist and Michael Rowe, Ph.D., a medical sociologist,
includes chapters written by experts on the topic including
physicians, nurses, patients, and advocates, and covers a wide
range of topics essential to an understanding of the unique
character, challenges, and needed responses to the risk, incidence,
and aftermath of medical error in the diagnosis, treatment, and
aftermath of treatment for cancer. Clinical Oncology and Error
Reduction will serve as the standard for framing the discussion of
error in the field for oncologists, epidemiologists, nurses,
healthcare administrators, researchers, and scholars. An
indispensable handbook for all clinical oncologists, their staff,
nurses, and oncology residents and fellows, this book: Contains
practical information for immediate clinical application Covers
topics such as patient safety, error prevention, quality
improvement, errors disclosure and apology, and the impact of
errors on patients and doctors Each chapter contains special "take
home" points that highlight issues of particular clinical relevance
and application Prepared by an expert, multidisciplinary,
international team of physicians, nurses, researchers, hospital
administrators, bioethicists, patients and patient advocates Dr.
Surbone shared with ASCO Connection her insights about patient
safety and medical errors and offered a glimpse into the history
that led to this new book:
