This edited volume of original chapters brings together researchers
from around the world who are exploring the facets of health care
organization and delivery that are sometimes marginal to mainstream
patient safety theories and methodologies but offer important
insights into the socio-cultural and organizational context of
patient safety. By examining these critical insights or
perspectives and drawing upon theories and methodologies often
neglected by mainstream safety researchers, this collection shows
we can learn more about not only the barriers and drivers to
implementing patient safety programmes, but also about the more
fundamental issues that shape notions of safety, alternate
strategies for enhancing safety, and the wider implications of the
safety agenda on the future of health care delivery. In so doing, A
Socio-cultural Perspective on Patient Safety challenges the
taken-for-granted assumptions around fundamental philosophical and
political issues upon which mainstream orthodoxy relies. The book
draws upon a range of theoretical and empirical approaches from
across the social sciences to investigate and question the patient
safety movement. Each chapter takes as its focus and question a
particular aspect of the patient safety reforms, from its policy
context and theoretical foundations to its practical application
and manifestation in clinical practice, whilst also considering the
wider implications for the organization and delivery of health care
services. Accordingly, the chapters each draw upon a distinct
theoretical or methodological approach to critically explore
specific dimensions of the patient safety agenda. Taken as a whole,
the collection advances a strong, coherent argument that is much
needed to counter some of the uncritical assumptions that need to
be described and analyzed if patient safety is indeed to be
achieved.
