Description
Written by a registered nurse with over 20 years of hospital experience, this book is a must read for everyone, because everyone has the potential to become a patient in the hospital or to have a loved one in the hospital.
A hospital is the right place to be when healing cannot take place at home without professional medical intervention; however, hospitals are not always safe havens. Many factors contribute to infrequent medical errors; but even one error is one error too many.
In Smart Patients, Safe Patients, the author educates patients and helps them take their rightful place as leader of their own health care team. Most important, readers will learn strategies they can use to stay safe throughout their hospital stay. The book also teaches family members and friends how be the perfect advocate to help ensure the safety of someone dear to them.
This is an extremely important book that can save lives. The best time to read this book is now, before becoming a player in the hospital drama. The author's hope is that at some future time, every patient who is admitted to the hospital will be an educated patient and most definitely a safe patient.
