Health care organizations around the world are called on to provide high-quality, safe patient care despite inadequate equipment or financial, human, and other resources. Most health care organizations are frequently aware of what they need to do to provide quality, safe patient care; however, they may lack the leadership, staff knowledge, or organizational structures necessary to begin the quality journey. Organizations may simply do not know where to start or do not know which interventions will have the greatest effect on quality and patient safety. | International essentials of health care quality and patient safety™ hospital editionRE QUALITY AND PATIENT SAFETY
