About this Book
This updated edition includes the latest findings on patient safety
by two of the foremost authorities on medical mistakes.
Two dynamic physician-professors investigate (and re-investigate)
the rampant errors endemic to modern medical care and suggest ways
to prevent hospitals and doctors from inadvertently killing their
patients. Emerging from these compelling stories and provocative insights
is a powerful case for change–by policymakers, hospitals, doctors,
nurses, and even patients and their families. Wachter & Shojania
underscore the depth and breadth of dangers in medical care; more
important, they suggest basic safety procedures and hard-nosed remedies
that could make erratic systems fail-safe and save countless lives.
