Una sanità sempre più di qualità e sicura è un obiettivo che presuppone un modello di governo clinico capace di mettere continuamente alla prova non solo la professionalità, ma anche la mentalità, le abitudini e icomportamenti di ogni operatore sanitario. Il riferimento deve essere sempre il paziente, adeguatamente informato per essere responsabile del proprio percorso di salute. La sicurezza nei percorsi sanitari e assistenziali, assieme al rispetto delle procedure e dei protocolli diagnostico-terapeutici, deve quindi divenire il principio su cui basare qualsiasi proposta organizzativa in sanità. La seconda edizione del volume di Charles Vincent, Patient Safety – presentato per la prima volta in versione italiana – rappresenta un’utilissima guida al miglioramento delle procedure relative alla sicurezza in ambito sanitario. Questo libro rappresenta un utile strumento per la formazione delle nuove generazioni di operatori sanitari, affinché, fin dalla preparazione universitaria e poi nell’educazione continua, la qualità e la sicurezza delle cure divengano un pilastro fondamentale nella cultura professionale e manageriale del presente e del futuro.

Is the reporting of medical errors changing? This book shows with real cases from health care and beyond that most errors come from flaws in the system. It also shows why they don't get reported and how medical error disclosure around the world is shifting away from blaming people, to a "no-fault" model that seeks to improve the whole system of care. The book intends to provide an introduction to medical errors that result in preventable adverse events. It will examine issues that stymie efforts made to reduce preventable adverse events and medical errors, and will moreover highlight their impact on clinical laboratories and other areas, including educational, bioethical, and regulatory issues. Varying error rates of 0.1-9.3% in clinical diagnostic laboratories have been reported in the literature. While it is suggested that fewer errors occur in the laboratory than in other hospital settings, the quantum of laboratory tests used in healthcare entails that even a small error rate may reflect a large number of errors. The interdependence of surgical specialties, emergency rooms, and intensive care units - all of which are prone to higher rates of medical errors - with clinical diagnostic laboratories entails that reducing error rates in laboratories is essential to ensuring patient safety in other critical areas of healthcare. The author maintains that many such errors are preventable provided that appropriate attention is paid to systemic factors involved in laboratory errors. This book identifies possible intelligent system approaches that can be adopted to help control and eliminate these errors. It is a valuable tool for physicians, clinical biochemists, research scientists, laboratory technologists and anyone interested in reducing adverse events at all levels of healthcare processes.

Physician-scientists are unusual creatures. While we are drawn to the clinical challenges of our patients, we are also drawn to the opportunities that our patients’ medical problems bring to science. This book contains the unique experiences and encounters that drew 21 accomplished physician-scientists to this profession. These personal stories are those of people and circumstances that have had profound effects on our career decisions, our creative opportunities, and our lives. These stories also serve to highlight the lessons learned along the way and the distinct attributes of these women and men of medicine and science. Our combined hope is that our collective biographies will enhance the public understanding of our profession, will move people from medicine to science and from science to medicine, and will inspire those who are contemplating this extraordinary profession.
