Why Hospitals Should Fly: The Ultimate Flight Plan to Patient Safety and Quality Care
Why Hospitals Should Glide: The Ultimate Flight Plot to Patient Safety and Quality Care Books
Product Description
This book is a tour de force, and no one but John Nance may possibly have written it. He, lonely, masters in one mind the fields of aviation, health care safety, medical misconduct law, organizational sociology, media communication, and, as if that were not enough, the art of fine writing. Only he may possibly have made sophisticated, scientifically disciplined instruction about the nature and roots of safety into a page-turner. Medical care has a ton yet to learn from the decades of progress that have brought aviation to unprecedented levels of safety, and, in instructing us all about those lessons, John Nance is not just a bridge-builder he is the bridge. This book should be required reading for anyone willing to face the facts about what it will take for health care to be as safe as it truly can be.

These books never arrived. This likely was a problem with USPS and not the seller. The seller after several communications offered to and did refund my buy in full and I appreciated this resolution

Brilliant way to bestow well documented in rank on some problems that plague health care today. Also is a fantastic way to suggest changes rather than just presenting and excoriating the problems as is too often the tendencies these days. Mr Nance also recognizes that solutions to problems will be local and that a “cookie cutter” approach will not yield the desired consequences in each situation. I would strongly urge this book!

The best book about why hospitals should glide!
Very Utopian, but it shows a thought of an alternative to current chaotic and perilous healthcare systems failing mainly due to poor communication between staff and systems which neither serve the patients or the staff.
Highlights the danger of doctors who are taught that they are to be infallible and cannot be contradicted by anyone, ever. Very excellent book, but definately not enough examples from the aviation industry!! More example from nuclear power wouldn’t go amiss either.

A gripping read, where I learned a fantastic deal about aviation safety which applies well to medicine because of the human factor. As a nurse, patient safety is incredibly vital to me, but I know my human fallibility and the fact that any one of us in medicine can make a mistake. John clearly describes how to minimize the possibility of error, but as in the aviation industry, it will take many years to exchange the culture of doctors in particular. The CEO of my sickbay has my copy of the book!

This book is a must read for sickbay administrators, doctors, nurses, and anyone caught up in sickbay healthcare. Our sickbay has adopted these procedures and is working toward the cultural exchange that is required for this to work. It is so excellent that our CEO has said “Get on board or find some other place to work.” We are in the administer of adopting aviation safety practices in our sickbay to catch errors before someone gets hurt. This works and I am willing to bet we become a national standard of healthcare within the next decade.
