Author Description
Quality and Safety in Anesthesia and Perioperative Care offers practical suggestions for improving quality of care and patient safety in the perioperative setting. Chapters are organized into sections on clinical foundations and practical applications, and emphasize strategies that support reform at all levels, from operating room practices to institutional procedures. Written by leading experts in their fields, chapters are based on accepted safety, human performance, and quality management science and they illustrate the benefits of collaboration between medical professionals and human factors experts. The book highlights concepts such as situation awareness, staff resource management, threat and error management, checklists, explicit practices for monitoring, and safety culture. Quality and Safety in Anesthesia and Perioperative Care is a must-have resource for those preparing for the quality and safety questions on the American Board of Anesthesiology certification examinations, as well as clinicians and trainees in all practice settings.
Menrva's Summary
THE THESIS
This text investigates the methodologies and systemic frameworks required to enhance patient safety and clinical quality within the complex environment of perioperative care. The authors, Keith J. Ruskin, Marjorie P. Stiegler, and Stanley H. Rosenbaum, leverage their extensive clinical expertise to synthesize human performance science with practical medical application. The book argues that safety is not merely an individual responsibility but a structural outcome achieved through institutional reform, collaborative communication, and the rigorous application of human factors engineering.
