    Review
    “Throughout their careers, Morath and Turnbull have displayed rare leadership and courage in transforming patient safety theory and research into meaningful strategies and tactics. They now share their wisdom in this practical, provocative, and compassionate book which is destined to be the classic in the field.” –Donald M. Berwick, president and CEO, Insititute for Healthcare Improvement “Julie Morath and Joanne Turnbull’s great achievement has been to take the ideas and research underlying patient safety and use them to produce real changes for patients and families. Their approach is resolutely practical yet underpinned by a deep understanding of both the complexity and the magnitude of the challenge of safe health care. This book tells you how they created that elusive safety culture, how others can do it, and, above all, that it can and should be done.” Charles Vincent, Professor of Clinical Safety Research, Imperial College, London “If you buy one book on patient safety, this should be it. The authors have created a valuable and readable handbook that serves as a guide for anyone who wishes to understand the issues of patient safety and what to do about them. By focusing on core principles and basic techniques for assessing patient safety and making change, the authors provide an enduring framework enriched with specific solutions and best practices. The last chapter, a summary of lessons and perspectives, is reason alone to buy this book.” –David Lawrence, former chairman and CEO, Kaiser Foundation Health Plan and Hospitals and member, IOM Committee for “To Err is Human” and “Crossing the Quality Chasm” reports. “This practical guide provides informed steps and directions to this diverse group of humans whom we count on to deliver high quality and safe care to all of society.”,br> –Henri R. Manasse, executive vice president and CEO, American Society of Health-System Pharmacists “Nurses have firsthand experience with institutions that don’t value safety, as they are targets of the ‘blame game’ when preventable errors occur and they live with the pain of witnessing patients die or become injured unnecessarily. But there is simply no reason for nurses or others in health care to tolerate unsafe institutions anymore. I urge every nurse to read this important, well-written book and give it to boards of trustees and executives as a mandate for them to lead the way in ensuring that the patients in their charge are in safe hands.” –Diana J. Mason, RN, PhD, FAAN, editor-in-chief, American Journal of Nursing

    Product Description
    With this important resource, health care leaders from the board room to the point-of-care can learn how to apply the science of safe and best practices from industry to healthcare by changing leadership practices, models of service delivery, and methods of communication.

    Safety and Ethics in Healthcare: A Guide to Getting It Right (Paperback)

    Safety and Ethics in Healthcare: A Guide to Getting It RightRead Reviews, Get Prices…

    Product Description
    As more and more people survive into old age, the burden of caring for them becomes greater and greater. Although it is now possible to alleviate many of the afflictions that beset mankind, no society can afford to pay for all the healthcare that is now available or technically possible. People working in healthcare increasingly have to do more with less. Rationing takes many forms, mostly covert, and the less privileged in most societies end up struggling to get their proper share of the available healthcare resources. All too often, those in the front-line have to deal with the consequences of this ‘rationing by default’: healthcare professionals find themselves rushed off their feet simply doing the basic tasks and completing all the paperwork; placing frail, sick people in ever lengthening queues, sometimes asking them to wait for hours in the middle of the night under uncomfortable and even unsafe conditions; and, worst of all, working under conditions they would rather avoid in which the safety margin for those they are caring for has been greatly diminished. We are all aware that under these conditions the chance of making a mistake which can seriously harm or even lead to the death of a patient is greatly increased. But what can be done about this? How can you be sure that you are doing the right thing when faced with having to practice an uncertain science on vulnerable patients in a complex system under ever-changing conditions? At what point could you cross the invisible line from reasonable to irresponsible or unethical behaviour by tolerating conditions or tacitly accepting practices which may be regarded as unacceptable, even though you may have little immediate control over them? This book is a guide to getting it right for healthcare professionals. It is about doing the right thing, in the right way, at the right time, for the right people. These are the dimensions of quality in healthcare, and although some are in conflict (equitable access and efficiency, for example), adherence to ethical practice and professional behaviour will help lead healthcare practitioners through the minefield of responsibilities and priorities. Real-life situations are integral to the book, with over 500 clinical examples referred to within the text.

    My Office Is Killing Me!: The Sick Building Survival GuideRead Reviews, Get Prices…

    Product DescriptionBacteria and mold may lurk undetected in carpets or in the heating or cooling system of your office or school. When inhaled, the by-products of these organisms can cause allergy and asthma symptoms. Chemical vapors emitted by office furniture and equipment may also foul the air we breathe indoors, causing headaches, eye irritation, or other symptoms. Here the author of the best-selling My House Is Killing Me! and co-author of The Mold Survival Guide turns his attention to indoor air quality in public buildings. Blending his extensive professional experience with scientific explanations, May helps us see these buildings through the eyes of a building scientist, microscopist, and organic chemist. He offers a step-by-step approach to identifying, controlling, and often eliminating the sources of indoor air pollutants and allergens. Whether it’s a case of mold in an elementary school or inadequate ventilation in a high-rise office building, this valuable guide can help people cope when the air they breathe indoors is making them sick.

    About the AuthorJeffrey C. May is a building consultant, indoor air-quality professional, and the principal scientist of May Indoor Air Investigations LLC in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
