Patient safety is an issue which in recent years has grown to
prominence in a number of countries' political and health service
agendas. The World Health Organisation has launched the World
Alliance for Patient Safety. Millions of patients, according to the
Alliance, endure prolonged ill-health, disability and death caused
by unreliable practices, services, and poor health care
environments. At any given time 1.4 million people worldwide are
suffering from an infection acquired in a health facility. Patient
Safety, Law Policy and Practice explores the impact of legal
systems on patient safety initiatives. It asks whether legal
systems are being used in appropriate ways to support state and
local managerial systems in developing patient safety procedures,
and what alternative approaches can and should be utilized. The
chapters in this collection explore the patient safety managerial
structures that exist in countries where there is a developed
patient safety infrastructure and culture. The legal structures of
these countries are explored and related to major in-country
patient safety issues such as consent to treatment protocols and
guidelines, complaint handling, adverse incident reporting systems,
and civil litigation systems, in order to draw comparisons and
conclusions on patient safety.
