| Summary: | Patient Safety: Perspectives on Evidence, Information and Knowledge Transfer provides background on the patient safety movement, systems safety, human error and other key philosophies that support change and innovation in the reduction of medical error. The book draws from multidisciplinary areas within the acute care environment to share models to drive proactive changes in how team-based improvement efforts can make evidence, information and knowledge (EIK) sharing processes reliable, effective and necessary in support of safe care delivery. The publication discusses how the tenets of safety (described in the beginning of the book) can be actively applied to EIK processes in the front line of care. |
