Recenzijas
"The main strengths of the materials are that they are practical, thorough and readily applicable to healthcare. The materials provide tools necessary for successful RCA performance and action plan implementation based on the authors years of experience leading the analysis of actual patient safety events in healthcare. The materials emphasize the importance of learning from adverse events to an organizations culture of safety. The authors place the patient at the center and also recognize the importance of credible event investigation to caregivers. The materials appropriately emphasize a systems approach to medical errors, the importance of reliably identifying the root cause of an event and implementing an action plan that prevents the error from recurring."
