Developing best practices and ethical systems to protect and
enhance patient safety. Human errors occur all too frequently in
medical practice settings. One sobering recent report claimed that
medical errors are the third leading cause of death in the United
States. Hoping to reverse this disturbing trend but wondering why
it is that things usually go well despite errors, John D. Banja's
Patient Safety Ethics lays out a model that advocates vigilance,
mindfulness, compliance, and humility as core ethical principles of
patient safety. Arguing that the safe provision of healthcare is
one of the most fundamental moral obligations of clinicians, Banja
surveys the research literature on harm-causing medical errors to
explore the ethical foundations of patient safety and to reduce the
severity and frequency of medical error. Drawing on contemporary
scholarship on quality improvement, risk management, and medical
decision making, Banja also relies on a novel source of information
to illustrate patient safety ethics: medical malpractice suits.
Providing professional perspective with insights from prominent
patient safety experts, Patient Safety Ethics identifies hazard
pitfalls and suggests concrete ways for clinicians and regulators
to improve patient safety through an ethically cultivated program
of "hazard awareness."
