TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Chapter 12. Patient Safety in the Ambulatory Setting A1 - Wachter, Robert M. Y1 - 2012 N1 - T2 - Understanding Patient Safety, 2e AB - The point has been well made that while most of the patient safety literature focuses on hospital errors, most healthcare is delivered in office settings.
