'This book turns patient safety on its head, and in the process shines the spotlight on the need for intelligence, flexibility, adaptability, and responsiveness of front line staff as the key to safer care. Instead of the current (what the authors dub "Safety I") paradigm, the authors, including many of the leading thinkers in patient safety research, develop a new "Safety II" approach designed for today's dynamic and complex health systems.' Gordon Schiff MD, Associate Director, Center for Patient Safety Research and Practice, Brigham and Women's Hospital and Associate Professor of Medicine Harvard Medical School, USA 'Inspiring! Resilient Health Care evokes a sort of enlightenment about how the healthcare industry might be positively transformed as we take a more proactive approach to patient safety. This rich compilation of safety experts' wisdom regarding the application of resilience engineering principles in healthcare practice is the perfect spring board for developing tools to improve patient safety and the patient experience. Healthcare leaders everywhere need to hear the message this book conveys!'Sheila Bosch, Director of Research, Gresham, Smith and Partners 'The book Resilient Health Care is important for everyone who is looking for a new perspective on how to improve care for patients in complex organisations. For years, we have focused on evidence based guidelines, quality management and accreditation with extensive procedures and regulations to reduce incidents. Now it is time to balance back, look for things going right instead of wrong, and enforce knowledge and teamwork at the work floor.'Cordula Wagner, VU Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Synopsis
Health care is everywhere under tremendous pressure with regard to efficiency, safety, and economic viability - to say nothing of having to meet various political agendas - and has responded by eagerly adopting techniques that have been useful in other industries, such as quality management, lean production, and high reliability. This has on the whole been met with limited success because health care as a non-trivial and multifaceted system differs significantly from most traditional industries. In order to allow health care systems to perform as expected and required, it is necessary to have concepts and methods that are able to cope with this complexity. Resilience engineering provides that capacity because its focus is on a system's overall ability to sustain required operations under both expected and unexpected conditions rather than on individual features or qualities. Resilience engineering's unique approach emphasises the usefulness of performance variability, and that successes and failures have the same aetiology. This book contains contributions from acknowledged international experts in health care, organisational studies and patient safety, as well as resilience engineering. Whereas current safety approaches primarily aim to reduce or eliminate the number of things that go wrong, Resilient Health Care aims to increase and improve the number of things that go right. Just as the WHO argues that health is more than the absence of illness, so does Resilient Health Care argue that safety is more than the absence of risk and accidents. This can be achieved by making use of the concrete experiences of resilience engineering, both conceptually (ways of thinking) and practically (ways of acting)., Properly performing health care systems require concepts and methods that match their complexity. Resilience engineering provides that capability. It focuses on a system's overall ability to sustain required operations under both expected and unexpected conditions rather than on individual features or qualities.
