Advances in Patient Safety: New Directions and Alternative Approaches

Advances in Patient Safety: New Directions and Alternative Approaches
Advances in Patient Safety: New Directions and Alternative Approaches represents years of study by AHRQ-funded patient safety researchers and others. It includes articles on reporting systems, risk assessment, safety culture, medical simulation, patient safety tools and practices, health information technology, medication safety, and other topics related to improving patient safety.

The 115 articles in the 4-volume set cover a wide range of research paradigms, clinical settings, and patient populations. The volumes are organized around four broad themes: volume 1, assessment; volume 2, culture and redesign; volume 3, performance and tools; and volume 4, information technology and medication safety. Where the research is complete, the findings are presented; where the research is still in process, the articles report on its progress. In addition to articles with a research and methodological focus, the compendium includes articles that address implementation issues or present tools and products that can be used to improve patient safety. This new publication complements AHRQ's Advances in Patient Safety: From Research to Implementation, published in 2005.
