Despite its frequency and its potential severity, preventable
medical harm is still prominent in American hospitals and continues
to put an alarming amount of lives at risk, being the third leading
cause of death in the United States. Even some of the most commonly
performed surgeries, such as knee and hip replacements, are
resulting in a rapidly increasing rate of surgical site infections.
Patricia Morrill's book is specifically written for the healthcare
industry. It fills the need for exposing how preventable harm is a

self-assess the performances of managers. The book equips readers
with a 360 view: patients, families, physicians, workforce, leaders
and culture. Morrill's ten-step model of Process Improvement

methodologies for developing a problem-solving culture and
initiating process improvement at a strategic level. It is
