The Best Practice: How the New Quality Movement is

The Best Practice: How the New Quality Movement is Transforming Medicine

In the late 1990s, treatment-related deaths or Â“complicationsâ€ were the fifth leading cause of death for Americans. Spurred by the crisis, a group of dedicated physicians like Paul Batalden and Don Berwick made it their goal to study the concepts of Â“quality improvementâ€ used at Toyota and NASA, and to apply them to the practice of medicine. This book tells their story, and how these Â“hereticalâ€ ideas have blossomed into a movement, bringing the focus back to where it should have always been: the patient.
