The book is based on the fundamentals of safety science, introducing both theory, methodology and practical applications of key principles.

The author addresses the most common incidents in veterinary medicine, such as misdiagnosis, medication, equipment and communication errors, and includes many different how-to guides to perform patient safety investigations. Analysis techniques, such as the critical incident technique, Human Factors Analysis Classification System, Systems Analysis and The Five Whys, are explained. Critiques on theories, methodology and published studies are used to demonstrate the strengths and weaknesses of methods and analysis techniques. The importance of local investigations and the lack of a one-size-fits-all approach is emphasised, alongside the importance of fostering a safety culture including the debriefing following major incidents or complications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVeterinary Patient Safety\u003c\/em\u003e includes information on:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCurrent data on the degree of harm occurring through unsafe care\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKey concepts and safety theory\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHuman fallibility and the importance of non-technical skills\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOrganisational culture, covering incivility and its effect on team performance, the concept of blame and ways to assess culture\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReporting and learning methods, including incident reporting, debriefs, interviews, surveys, case review and trigger tools, and process evaluation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExplanatory analysis methods and how they can be applied to veterinary safety investigations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePatient safety improvement tools, including checklists and cognitive aids, simulation and team building, briefings and debriefings, and debiasing strategies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLegal and ethical aspects of patient safety, including error disclosure, litigation, non-maleficence and the veterinary professional’s “new accountability”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVeterinary Patient Safety\u003c\/em\u003e is an excellent holistic resource on the subject for general veterinary practitioners, veterinary specialists, veterinary students, veterinary nurses and veterinary managers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47933359489260,"sku":"9781394250233","price":195.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781394250233-veterinary-patient-safety.jpg?v=1783868920"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/matthew-mcmillan.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
