Healthcare Hazard Control & Safety Management

Healthcare Hazard Control & Safety Management Second Edition JAMES T. TWEEDY. The book is broad in scope and focuses on the importance of safety in our nation’s hospitals and nursing homes. However, much of the information has application to other healthcare organizations, including ambulatory surgery centers, long-term care facilities, laboratories, and primary health clinics. The author places a strong emphasis on identifying, analyzing, and controlling healthcare-related hazards and unsafe behaviors. Each of the main chapters contains a summary and review exercises. The author feels strongly that the revised text would be an appropriate text for college or university courses in curriculums such as safety, nursing, healthcare administration, and public health
