Risk management in healthcare facilities

The authors present strategies in a readable way that everyone who cares about ensuring the safety of the care they provide must consider. It is the first book of its kind and comes at a time of increasing pressure from the public, media, payers and politicians on the quality and safety of healthcare facilities. The text is intended not only for managers at all levels of management, but also for teachers, students and readers interested in risk management. In logically following chapters, the authors introduce the reader to the role of the risk manager, the reasons for failure of existing preventive measures and the most serious risks in the clinical and non-clinical field. The book also offers a wealth of proven strategies for preventing incidents and describes in a clear way the methodology for implementing a risk management program in all departments. The book was supported by the Czech Nurses Association.
