Patient Safety and Quality: An Evidence-Based Handbook for Nurses (Free eBook)

Editor: Ronda G Hughes, PhD, MHS, RN.

This book explains wide range of issues and literature regarding patient safety and quality health care .Each of the chapters in this book is organized with a background section and analysis of the literature. At the end of each chapter, you will find two critical components. First, there is a “Practice Implications” section that outlines how the evidence can be used to inform practice changes. Second, there is a “Research Implications” section that outlines research gaps that can be targeted by researchers and used by clinicians to inform and guide decisions for practice.

Throughout these pages, you will find peer-reviewed discussions and reviews of a wide range of issues and literature regarding patient safety and quality health care. Owing to the complex nature of health care, this book provides some insight into the multiple factors that determine the quality and safety of health care as well as patient, nurse, and systems outcomes. Each of these 51 chapters and 3 leadership vignettes presents an examination of the state of the science behind quality and safety concepts and challenges the reader to not only use evidence to change practices but also to actively engage in developing the evidence base to address critical knowledge gaps. Patient safety and quality care are at the core of health care systems and processes and are inherently dependent upon nurses. To achieve goals in patient safety and quality, and thereby improve health care throughout this nation, nurses must assume the leadership role.

This little book is the outgrowth of a conviction, strengthened by some years of experience with hundreds of supposedly normal young people in schools and colleges, confirmed by my years of training in a neurological hospital and months of work in a big city general hospital, that it is of little value to help some people back to physical health if they are to carry with them through a prolonged life the miseries of a sick attitude. As nurses I believe it is our privilege and our duty to work for health of body and health of mind as inseparable. Experience has proved that too often the physically ill patient (hitherto nervously well) returns from hospital care addicted to the illness-accepting attitude for which the nurse must be held responsible.
