Stakeholders at all levels of a healthcare system have a vested interest in improving quality and safety. Managers play instrumental roles in creating and delivering high-quality services but many frontline clinical and administrative staff members are also involved, directly or indirectly, in shaping patient care systems and designing safer, more efficient processes.

Applying Quality Management in Healthcare explores the principles of quality management and provides a variety of practical tools for real-world improvement and problem solving. Unlike many healthcare quality management guides, this book focuses on the systems that form the foundation of a high-quality health services organization. Readers learn which management practices are essential to advancing performance goals, making long-lasting process improvements, and providing the operational systems and tools needed for success.

This edition features new and enhanced material, including the following:

Expanded content on quality tools, improvement models, project teams, and patient safety Strategies for reporting and analyzing data to evaluate performance, from contributor Naveen Kumar, PhD Broader coverage of key foundational principles Case studies illustrating what is required of health services organizations to set the stage for success The nuts and bolts of achieving improved patient safety and quality results in complex systems

In addition, the book provides guidance on managing improvement projects, fostering collaboration, providing a supportive environment for performance improvement, and becoming a high-reliability organization. Concepts are robustly supported by real-life examples, end-of-chapter exercises, and a series of practice labs.

Title: fast delivery
Review: It's a textbook so I'm not incredibly excited to see it but it counts for one more class down towards my degree. I was happy to see they could do fast delivery and hold to their promise - so many things have gone missing or been slow this season. Thank you.

Title: Practical, front line approach
Review: Possibly the first textbook in my PhD program actually written by someone in frontline healthcare delivery. Practical, well organized with a "from the trenches" perspective rather than the usual idealistic academic "why use 500 words when I have 5000?"

Title: Sexist.
Review: Sexist, like many nursing text books. In this book the first example illustrated portrays a busy pediatrician (denoted by feminine pronouns) that provides good quality services, but is hindered by the manager's (denoted by masculine pronouns) inability to properly manicure an effective practice. First, why is the doctor a woman and the manger is a man? Secondly, why is blame being placed on one as opposed to the other? Finally (and most importantly), why are gender based pronouns even necessary in the first place? I see this all the time in nursing texts. As a male in the nursing field (at the doctorate level) I am personally a little fed up with the subtle and needless exaltation of females and denigration of males within the curriculum. Two stars.
