About the Authors
  • An accessible and richly illustrated guidebook to the most important methodologies and frameworks for improving safety and quality, written specifically for clinicians in anaesthesia and perioperative medicine. The book begins with chapters on design and the use of simulation to set the stage for successful quality improvement (QI) efforts before providing an in-depth look at the individual tools, reporting and use of databases. The following chapters then discuss the use of these tools and theories in practical projects. Finally, the book considers the difficult topic of people, communication and behaviour, importantly addressing the human factors that can make or break QI efforts. The book skilfully blends expert knowledge and valuable examples from years of experience and trials from varied providers to demonstrate the successful paths to improve patient outcomes. For clinicians, nurses and trainees in anaesthesia and perioperative medicine seeking tools and strategies to lead and participate in QI projects.

    • An ideal reference guide for perioperative providers, offering all of the essential quality improvement resource tools in one volume, from common definitions, to broad examples of how to perform larger system work
    • Providing improvement strategies alongside real-world examples, presenting readers with tried and tested approaches used by colleagues from different specialties spanning anesthesiology, intensive care, quality improvement, and nursing
    • Information is presented in an easy-to-read and sequential format, with progression from quality improvement theory to practical examples and concluding with the consideration of human factors
