    Book description

    An accessible and richly illustrated guidebook to the most important methodologies and frameworks for improving safety and quality, written specifically for clinicians in anaesthesia and perioperative medicine. The book begins with chapters on design and the use of simulation to set the stage for successful quality improvement (QI) efforts before providing an in-depth look at the individual tools, reporting and use of databases. The following chapters then discuss the use of these tools and theories in practical projects. Finally, the book considers the difficult topic of people, communication and behaviour, importantly addressing the human factors that can make or break QI efforts. The book skilfully blends expert knowledge and valuable examples from years of experience and trials from varied providers to demonstrate the successful paths to improve patient outcomes. For clinicians, nurses and trainees in anaesthesia and perioperative medicine seeking tools and strategies to lead and participate in QI projects.

    Reviews

    ‘This book is an interesting read with significant educational value, providing a solid foundation in patient safety and quality improvement. It is an excellent, quick read for any young practitioner interested in delving into quality and safety in perioperative medicine.’

    Laura K. Rein Source: Doody's Reviews

    ‘One of the standout features in the text is the attention to non-technical, human dimensions: behaviour, communication, leadership and culture. Many QI/safety books stay heavily technical or process-oriented; this one emphasises how those softer factors often make or break projects.’

    Paul Rawling - Journal of Perioperative Practice
