Paperback. Condition: Good. In Before Conflict: Preventing Aggressive Behavior, John Byrnes gets to the heart of the concept of aggression prevention. Rather than look strictly at violence and all its implications--fatalities, crime, and assault--Byrnes instead chooses to look ahead, in order to prevent violence rather than simply to act in reaction to it. By using a unique methodology of Aggression Management, those responsible for the safety of others may circumvent the standard practice of mere conflict resolution by dealing with the problem before it creates conflict. Because everyone experiences and manages anger differently, Aggression Management teaches readers not only how to measure their own aggression, but that of others as well. The result empowers the reader to stop problems before they even develop. This book is recommended for anyone responsible for the safety of others, especially people who work in the fields of education, health care and social services, law enforcement, the retail food service industry, and the U.S. Postal Service.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Each year, more than 200,000 patients die as a result of medical errors--the third leading cause of death in the United States.Although the numbers are staggering and the challenges great, this national healthcare crisis is solvable--and fixing it has become a personal mission for John Byrnes, MD, and Susan Teman, RN. Byrnes and Teman have a proven track record in helping hospitals and health systems transform into high-reliability organizations that aim to deliver error-free care at an affordable cost. In The Safety Playbook: A Healthcare Leader's Guide to Building a High-Reliability Organization, they lay out their process for building a safety program that can eradicate preventable medical errors. Written in a clear, conversational style, the book applies to all types of healthcare organizations and speaks to leaders across the spectrum--from board members and C-suite executives to clinical leaders; managers; and staff of quality, safety, and risk management departments.

The American College of Healthcare Executives and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement/National Patient Safety Foundation's Lucian Leape Institute (IHI/NPSF LLI) have partnered to collaborate with some of the most progressive healthcare organizations and globally renowned experts in leadership, safety, and culture to develop Leading a Culture of Safety: A Blueprint for Success.
