Improving Patient Care-3판

Description

Strategies for successfully updating and improving health care organizations of all kinds
Health care is always evolving and improving. However, the rapid speed of medical advancement can make the adoption of
new technologies and practices a challenging process - particularly in large organizations and complex networks.
Any projected impact upon quality and outcomes of care must be carefully evaluated so that changes may be implemented
in the most efficacious and efficient manner possible.

Improving Patient Care equips professionals and policymakers with the knowledge required to successfully optimize
health care practice. By integrating scientific evidence and practical experience, the text presents a cohesive and
proven model for practice change and innovation, complete with analysis of innovation, target group and setting;
selection and application of strategies; and evaluation of process, outcomes and costs.

Newly written chapters on clinical performance feedback, patient engagement, patient safety, evaluation designs,
and methods for process evaluation

Increased emphasis on the role of contextual influences in implementation and improvement
