This book is one of the first to comprehensively summarise the latest thinking and research in the rapidly evolving field of quality management in intensive care. Quality indicators and outcome measures are discussed with a practical focus on patient-centred, evidence-based implementation for safer and more effective clinical practice. Chapters on topics such as teambuilding, patient satisfaction, mortality and morbidity, and electronic management systems are organised into three sections, covering quality management at the scale of the individual patient, the intensive care unit, and the national and international level. Written by a team of over forty international experts in the specialty, with editors who have been heavily involved for many years with the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine, the book reflects commonly accepted goals and guidelines for best practice, and will be valuable for practitioners worldwide. The ideal one-stop resource for intensive care physicians as well as ICU and hospital managers.
Recenzijas
'Overall, this book is most successful when focusing on the core tenets of ICU care, specifically communication, teamwork, and use of data to drive quality improvement decisions Many institutions are seeking avenues to hardwire communications, handoffs, transport, and other crucial processes that occur hundreds of times a day for ICU patients. Both payers and patients are closely evaluating ICU quality data, so books such as this one may aid an ICU program in translating good ideas into routine practice.' Andrew C. Faust, Anesthesia and Analgesia
