This volume consists of 12 essays on structural approaches to issues of patient safety. Medical, management, and other specialists from the US and Europe address systems-based improvements that target hospital design; guiding change in the healthcare environment using a flexible process model; using a systems modeling approach to reduce the risk of healthcare-associated infections; the role of geographic information systems for infection control in hospitals; the use of human factor approaches to develop and conduct an evaluation of the design of a neonatal intensive care unit; the role of burnout in the relationship between a perceived patient-safe, friendly working environment and unsafe performance in an obstetric unit; failure-to-rescue event mitigation system assessment; continuous cardiac monitoring policy implementation; sterile processing of instruments and the preparation of case carts; cultivating a culture of continuous learning and improvement; a systems approach to the design and implementation of patient assessment tools in the inpatient setting; and optimizing the patient experience.
