TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Chapter 11. Other Complications of Healthcare A1 - Wachter, Robert M. Y1 - 2012 N1 - T2 - Understanding Patient Safety, 2e AB - As with healthcare-associated infections (Chapter 10), the patient safety movement has broadened the concept of “adverse event” to include such outcomes 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 errors. Such strategies include education, culture change, audit and feedback, improved teamwork, and the use of checklists and bundles.
