About this title

Synopsis

While increasing attention has been directed recently toward recognizing and reducing medical errors, healthcare organizations have yet to benefit from a similar scrutiny of management mistakes. Serving as a call to action for health care managers throughout the world, this book addresses the information gap on this critical issue.
