The Anatomy of Medical Error Preventing Harm With People-Based Patient Safety

People-Based Patient Safety includes the psychological principles and procedures most relevant to patient safety that have been addressed in many industrial safety books. The Anatomy of Medical Error is written to provide you with answers to the age-old question, how do we eliminate human error. This book presents specific skills you can gain and actions you can take to prevent human error. The learning begins with understanding how we think, and goes on to mindfulness, self-talk, and practicing team-orientation in healthcare.
