This unique and engaging open access title provides a compelling
and ground-breaking account of the patient safety movement in the
United States, told from the perspective of one of its most
prominent leaders, and arguably the movement's founder, Lucian L.
Leape, MD. Covering the growth of the field from the late 1980s to
2015, Dr. Leape details the developments, actors, organizations,
research, and policy-making activities that marked the evolution
and major advances of patient safety in this time span. In
addition, and perhaps most importantly, this book not only
comprehensively details how and why human and systems errors too
often occur in the process of providing health care, it also
promotes an in-depth understanding of the principles and practices
of patient safety, including how they were influenced by today's
modern safety sciences and systems theory and design. Indeed, the
book emphasizes how the growing awareness of systems-design
thinking and the self-education and commitment to improving patient
safety, by not only Dr. Leape but a wide range of other clinicians
and health executives from both the private and public sectors, all
converged to drive forward the patient safety movement in the US.
Making Healthcare Safe is divided into four parts: I. In the
Beginning describes the research and theory that defined patient
safety and the early initiatives to enhance it. II. Institutional
Responses tells the stories of the efforts of the major
organizations that began to apply the new concepts and make patient
safety a reality. Most of these stories have not been previously
told, so this account becomes their histories as well. III. Getting
to Work provides in-depth analyses of four key issues that cut
across disciplinary lines impacting patient safety which required
special attention. IV. Creating a Culture of Safety looks to the
future, marshalling the best thinking about what it will take to
achieve the safe care we all deserve. Captivatingly written with an
"insider's" tone and a major contribution to the clinical
literature, this title will be of immense value to health care
professionals, to students in a range of academic disciplines, to
medical trainees, to health administrators, to policymakers and
even to lay readers with an interest in patient safety and in the
critical quest to create safe care.
