Summary
Weaving together narratives from medicine, psychology, philosophy, and human performance, the book Still Not Safe looks at the patient safety movement and the state of the American healthcare system.
Content
Still not safe:
- includes a critical history and examination of the patient-safety movement in American medicine
- attributes patient-safety initiatives to the changing (and diminished) place of doctors within the larger healthcare system at the end of the 20th century
- integrates three streams of thinking about healthcare mistakes: clinical reasoning; objective understanding from a safety-science perspective; patients' and families' stories of injury and suffering
- gives a critical and lively voice of dissent in physician-led conversations around medicine and healthcare reform and expense.
Still not safe: patient safety and the middle-managing of American medicine (December 2019)
