Zusatztext 'It goes without saying that providing safe care to patients in our complex healthcare system depends on reliable data and clearly communicated information. However, knowledge management is a complicated field in its own right. Patient Safety: Perspectives on Evidence, Information and Knowledge Transfer is an ambitious, important book that examines the complex intersection between patient safety and evidence, information and knowledge transfer (EI&K). Editor Lorri Zipperer has expertise in both patient safety and EI&K and it shows in this impressive work. Not only has she recognized the need for a thoughtful, clear-eyed exploration of EI&K’s promise for moving health care closer to a culture of safety, but also has taken on the challenge of making sense of the intersection between two distinct, complicated fields. She has assembled an impressive list of contributors who provide needed background before examining potential EI&K failures and the improvement processes to address them. The authors also describe synergies between these two complex fields, and suggest future research directions.'- Joanne Turnbull, PhD, Executive Director Emerita, National Patient Safety Foundation'The published literature on patient safety principles is largely anecdotal and the evidence based knowledge in the field remains scarce. Lorri Zipperer, the editor of this new and groundbreaking book, has to be commended for her effort in providing a fresh perspective on the impact of EI&K (Evidence, Information, Knowledge) principles for patient safety. The new book appears to successfully complete the daunting task of extrapolating the "dry" theoretical aspects of interest to librarians and patient safety professionals, to relevant clinical processes and applications of interest to practicing physicians (including surgeons). ...Beyond a doubt, this meritorious work was desperately needed, and will hopefully allow to foster the buy-in and support by healthcare providers in sust Informationen zum Autor Lorri Zipperer!
