"Misadventures in Health Care: Inside Stories" presents an
alternative approach to attributing the cause of medical error
solely to the health care provider. That alternative, the systems
approach, pursues why an incident occurs in terms of factors in the
context of care that affect the care provider to induce an error.
The basis for this approach is the fact that an error is an act, an
act is behavior, and behavior is a function of the person
interacting with the environment. Eleven vignettes illustrate the
importance of the systems approach by describing health care
incidents from the perspective of the care providers--the
perspective that can identify the factors that actually affect the
provider. These stories provide general readers with opportunities
to apply their knowledge in analyzing incidents to identify
error-inducing factors.
This book is important reading for policymakers, researchers and
practitioners in law and in all medical specialties, and
professionals in the social sciences, human factors, and
engineering. In addition to sensitizing the reader to the
importance of contextual factors in error, "Misadventures in Health
Care" is a case study reference to supplement texts in professional
schools such as law and medicine, as well as the full range of
academic disciplines. It also is important reading for the general
public because it presents an approach for addressing a very
pressing social problem-- that of misadventures in health
care.
