Synopsis:

2009 ACHE Book of the Year This book is a tour de force, and no one but John Nance could have written it. He, alone, masters in one mind the fields of aviation, health care safety, medical malpractice law, organizational sociology, media communication, and, as if that were not enough, the art of fine writing. Only he could have made sophisticated, scientifically disciplined instruction about the nature and roots of safety into a page-turner. Medical care has a ton yet to learn from the decades of progress that have brought aviation to unprecedented levels of safety, and, in instructing us all about those lessons, John Nance is not just a bridge-builder he is the bridge. This book should be required reading for anyone willing to face the facts about what it will take for health care to be as safe as it truly can be. Donald M. Berwick, MD, MPP President and CEO Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI)
