Description
Patient safety remains a pressing concern in healthcare settings. Each year, preventable errors and adverse events result in thousands of deaths, extended hospital stays, and significant economic costs. This book offers a critical examination of patient safety from various perspectives, highlighting the limitations of existing solutions and the need for collaborative approaches. Contributors explore the roles of frontline workers, including nurses, janitors, and other staff, in ensuring effective safety initiatives. By shedding light on workplace issues such as burnout, inadequate teamwork, and outsourcing of hospital services, First Do Less Harm provides a nuanced understanding of the complex factors contributing to patient safety concerns.
