TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Other Complications of Healthcare A1 - Wachter, Robert M. A1 - Gupta, Kiran PY - 2017 T2 - Understanding Patient Safety, 3e AB - As with healthcare-associated infections (Chapter 10), the patient safety movement has broadened the concept of “adverse event” to include outcomes such as patient falls, delirium, pressure ulcers, and venous thromboembolism (VTE) occurring in healthcare facilities. The rationale for this inclusion is that the strategies to prevent these complications of medical care are similar to those used to prevent other harms. Such strategies include education, culture change, audit and feedback, improved teamwork, and the use of checklists and bundles.
