With unintended harm during hospital care costing billions of
dollars to the world economy, not to mention millions of deaths
each year, it's no wonder the issue is equally front and center in
the minds of healthcare providers and the public. Although the
issue has been tackled in journal articles and conference
proceedings, there are very few books on the topic. And none
consider how methods and techniques developed in the area of
engineering can handle safety and human error-related problems.
Until now.
Written by an expert with vast know-how in engineering
management, design, reliability, safety, and quality, Patient
Safety: An Engineering Approach brings together the pertinent
information scattered throughout books and journals, eliminating
the need to consult many different and diverse sources to find what
you need. B.S. Dhillon draws on his real-world experience to
demonstrate how to handle patient safety-related problems using
engineering techniques and backs this up with references for
further reading at the end of each chapter. He sets the stage with
introductory chapters on mathematical, patient safety, and human
factors concepts essential to understanding materials presented in
subsequent chapters.
Dhillon's clear, concise discussion of the topics presents the
information in such a way that no previous knowledge is required to
understand the contents, yet he does not present it at a merely
rudimentary level. He brings a fresh approach and engineering
perspective to the issues, giving you a new tool kit for performing
patient safety-related analysis, designing better medical
systems/devices, and handling patient safety-related problems from
an engineering perspective.
