Structural approaches to address issues in patient safety /

This volume delves into the potential that design thinking can have when applied to organizational systems and structures in health care environments to mitigate risks, reduce medical errors and ultimately improve patient safety, the quality of care, provider well-being, and the overall patient expe...
