In Germany, approx. 1.8 million out of approx. 18 million inpatients suffer from adverse events; 50 percent of these cases are estimated to be avoidable. In the US, nearly 100,000 people die from the consequences of mistreatment. The intensive care units record 1.7 medical errors per patient and day. The most affected disciplines are the operative disciplines, particularly general surgery. Medical errors mainly occur when the indication for surgery is being made, during surgery and post-surgery. Suspicious oncological diagnostic results and post-operative complications are also often ignored. This book deals with complications and typical medical errors in surgery. It shows solutions and ways of dealing effectively with these errors and how to establish an efficient security management system. 410 0$aPatient Safety 606 $aMedical errors$xPrevention 606 $aMedical care$xQuality control 606 $aHealth facilities$xRisk management 610 $aMalpractice. 610 $aMedical Quality Management. 610 $aSurgery. 615 0$aMedical errors$xPrevention. 615 0$aMedical care$xQuality control. 615 0$aHealth facilities$xRisk management. 676 $a610.28/9 700 $aImhof$b Michael$0777969 701 $aBlondel$b Constantijn$01666112 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814149303321 996 $aMalpractice in surgery$94025178 997 $aUNINA
