Description:
The Institute of Medicine presents its third study on how to keep patients safe from the combined effects of the complexities of the technologically driven, compartmentalized health care system and the fallibility of human health care providers, managers, and leadership within that system. Taking the perspective of nurses as the largest component of the health care workforce, it suggests how the work environment can provide optimum safety.
