This book shows with real cases from health care and beyond that most errors come from flaws in the system. It also shows why they don't get reported and how medical error disclosure around the world is shifting away from blaming people, to a "no-fault" model that seeks to improve the whole system of care. The book intends to provide an introduction to medical errors that result in preventable adverse events. It will examine issues that stymie efforts made to reduce preventable adverse events and medical errors, and will moreover highlight their impact on clinical laboratories and other areas, including educational, bioethical, and regulatory issues. Varying error rates of 0.1-9.3% in clinical diagnostic laboratories have been reported in the literature. While it is suggested that fewer errors occur in the laboratory than in other hospital settings, the quantum of laboratory tests used in healthcare entails that even a small error rate may reflect a large number of errors. The interdependence of surgical specialties, emergency rooms, and intensive care units - all of which are prone to higher rates of medical errors - with clinical diagnostic laboratories entails that reducing error rates in laboratories is essential to ensuring patient safety in other critical areas of healthcare. The author maintains that many such errors are preventable provided that appropriate attention is paid to systemic factors involved in laboratory errors. This book identifies possible intelligent system approaches that can be adopted to help control and eliminate these errors. It is a valuable tool for physicians, clinical biochemists, research scientists, laboratory technologists and anyone interested in reducing adverse events at all levels of healthcare processes.Patient safety ;v. 1.Medical errorsUnited StatesPatient safetyPatientsSafety measuresUnited StatesEmergency Medicine.Intensive Care.Laboratory Medicine.Medical Malpractice.Medical errorsPatient safety.PatientsSafety measures610.28/9XL 1503rvkKalra Jay1555377MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781795903321Medical errors and patient safety3817230UNINA03287nam 2200517 450 991082006590332120230725051237.00-19-161983-30-19-161982-5(CKB)2550000000048538(StDuBDS)AH24082436(MiAaPQ)EBC771747(Au-PeEL)EBL771747(CaPaEBR)ebr11204240(OCoLC)753480364(EXLCZ)99255000000004853820170109h20112011 uy 0engur|||||||||||rdacontentrdamediardacarrierDisability and Isaiah's suffering servant /Jeremy SchipperOxford, [England] :Oxford University Press,2011.©20111 online resource (208 p.) Biblical Refigurations0-19-959486-4 Includes bibliographical references and index.In standard biblical interpretations the 'Suffering Servant' figure in Isaiah 53 is understood as an otherwise able bodied person who suffers. Jeremy Schipper challenges this reading and shows that the text describes the servant with language and imagery typically associated with disability in ancient Near Eastern literature.Although disability imagery is ubiquitous in the Hebrew Bible, characters with disabilities are not. The presence of the former does not guarantee the presence of the later. While interpreters explain away disabilities in specific characters, they celebrate the rhetorical contributions that disability imagery makes to the literary artistry of biblical prose and poetry, often as a trope to describe the suffering or struggles of a presumably nondisabled person or community. Thissituation contributes to the appearance (or illusion) of a Hebrew Bible that uses disability as a rich literary trope while disavowing the presence of figures or characters with disabilities. Isaiah 53 provides a wonderful example of this dynamic at work. The "Suffering Servant" figure in Isaiah 53 has captured the imagination of readers since very early in the history of biblical interpretation. Most interpreters understand the servant as an otherwise able bodied person who suffers. By contrast, Jeremy Schipper's study shows that Isaiah 53 describes the servant with language and imagery typically associated with disability in the Hebrew Bible and other ancient Near Easternliterature. Informed by recent work in disability studies from across the humanities, it traces both the disappearance of the servant's disability from the interpretative history of Isaiah 53 and the scholarly creation of the able bodied suffering servant.Biblical refigurations.DisabilitiesBible teachingSufferingBible teachingServant of JehovahBible teachingDisabilitiesBible teaching.SufferingBible teaching.Servant of JehovahBible teaching.224.1Schipper Jeremy1612378MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910820065903321Disability and Isaiah's suffering servant3957175UNINA
