RESILIENT HEALTH CARE

“Health is more than the absence of disease”

“Safety is more than the absence of risk”

Books, papers, and other stuff to read ...

There is a considerable literature on patient safety or safety in health care. In fact, too much to list here. The following is a somewhat eclectic selection:

 

(If you think that important papers have been missed, please send me a note, and I will try to compensate for the oversight. Ditto for books.)
