Limiting Harm in Health Care highlights the potential for
unnecessary harm in health care practice. This harm is mostly
unintentional, but it can result from many different aspects of
medical treatment in a wide range of practice areas. Adverse
events, events or omissions during clinical care resulting in
physical or psychological injury, are increasingly being recognised
as significant problems in health care.
Following clarification of the nature and extent of medical harm
in health care, separate chapters explore the potential for medical
harm in diverse areas of practice. Topics include problems in the
use of medication, the treatment of acute heart disease, the role
of hospital routine and the potentially negative role of medically
dominated treatment in mental illness and palliative care. The book
includes recommendations for reducing unnecessary harm within the
expanding boundaries of nursing practice. The reader is challenged
to assess the potential risks inherent in the health care system,
to reconsider established methods of treatment, and to re-examine
professional working relationships.
