Licensed nurses and unlicensed nursing assistants are critical participants in our national effort to protect patients from health care errors. The nature of the activities nurses typically perform " monitoring patients, educating home caretakers, performing treatments, and rescuing patients who are in crisis " provides an indispensable resource in detecting and remedying error-producing defects in the U.S. health care system. During the past two decades, substantial changes have been made in the organization and delivery of health care " and consequently in the job description and work environment of nurses. As patients are increasingly cared for as outpatients, nurses in hospitals and nursing homes deal with greater severity of illness. Problems in management practices, employee deployment, work and workspace design, and the basic safety culture of health care organizations place patients at further risk. This newest edition in the groundbreaking Institute of Medicine Quality Chasm series discusses the key aspects of the work environment for nurses and reviews the potential improvements in working conditions that are likely to have an impact on patient safety. 606 $aIndustrial safety 606 $aMedical care$xQuality control 606 $aNurse and patient 606 $aNursing errors$xPrevention 606 $aNursing$xSafety measures 606 $aWork environment$xSafety measures 615 0$aIndustrial safety. 615 0$aMedical care$xQuality control. 615 0$aNurse and patient. 615 0$aNursing errors$xPrevention. 615 0$aNursing$xSafety measures. 615 0$aWork environment$xSafety measures. 676 $a362.17/3 701 $aPage$b Ann$0943305 712 02$aInstitute of Medicine (U.S.).$bCommittee on the Work Environment for Nurses and Patient Safety. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910957111903321 996 $aKeeping patients safe$94352506 997 $aUNINA
