What others are saying about TAKING THE LEAD IN PATIENT SAFETY

"This succinct and focused book highlights a critically important component of the change process in healthcare--leadership--and outlines how leadership fosters the needed change in organizational culture."--Peter Angood, MD, VP and Chief Patient Safety Officer, The Joint Commission

"Designing healthcare systems that are safe, effective, and efficient requires leaders who are both committed and prepared to lead a cultural revolution. Taking the Lead in Patient Safety provides both the rationale for, and evidence of, the need for change as well as the practical tools necessary to help patient safety leaders maximize their personal effectiveness." --Ken Anderson, DO, MS, CPE, Chief Quality Officer, Evanston Northwestern Healthcare

"A must for anyone with a passion for or responsibility for patient safety. An excellent overview of patient safety with a strong connection to basic leadership principles. From an association perspective, this book can be used to develop a core curriculum for new leaders and as a refresher for tenured leaders."--Linda Groah, RN, Executive Director and CEO, Association of periOperative Registered Nurses

"By implementing these principles rapidly (as in RIGHT NOW!), many more mothers and fathers will return home safely from their hospital stays to enjoy years of family events. This book includes the tools, insights, and methodologies to launch a much needed safety revolution in our healthcare organizations."--Philip A. Newbold , President and CEO, Memorial Hospital & Health System

Rezensionen
This is an easy read, but that does not detract from the useful examples of safety awareness. The two authors make the case that emphasis on promoting safety should be for the benefit of staff as well as patients. ( Nursing Standard , October 2009)
