【 摘 要 】

It has been a decade or more since anything in safety management has grabbed my attention. We seem to be hashing over the same ideas and not making much progress. Problematically, the field is littered with diverse ideas that assemble into a poorly integrated and inconsistent whole. Worse, implementation of some of the more compelling ideas will arguably increase risk of harm. With these thoughts in mind, I was poised to dismiss this book by Vincent and Amalberti as more of the same. I turned around on that rather quickly. I was barely into Chapter 1 before I encountered a fresh way of conceptualizing the healthcare safety management problem. More generally, there are ideas in this book that can help us reformulate our approach to safety management not only in healthcare but also in other industries. Because there are far too many fresh insights to cover in this review, I will constrain myself to covering those that jumped out at me.
