As is true in many specialties, there is an ever-increasing focus on quality and safety, whether through ‘value based purchasing’, finding specialty specific quality and safety metrics, or just the professional desire to provide patients the best quality care. Traditionally, this work is done in single institutional settings, and there are few opportunities to share lessons and best practices across organizations. On local, state, and national levels, providers face challenges in providing high-quality, safe neurosurgical care in complex healthcare systems. A focus by governments, commercial organizations, and neurosurgical professionals on the topics of quality and safety demonstrates gaps in this knowledge area. Considering the Triple Aim of patient outcomes, costs and patient experience, neurosurgery needs to grow our knowledge and practical experience through national experts and sharing across organizations on strategies, studies and ideas to achieve these aims. Quality and Safety in Neurosurgery covers improvements in these areas and discusses solutions for problems that impact patient care. This book is written for anyone who works at the intersection of quality and safety and neurosurgery: neurosurgeons, neurologists, clinical researchers looking to improve outcomes in neurosurgery, hospital quality and safety officers, department leaders, fellows, and residents. Edited by neurosurgeons who worked on building the culture of quality and safety in the Department of Neurosurgery at UMN, and are striving to break down the barriers between institutions carrying out this work.- First book to provide an overview of quality and safety in neurosurgical settings and discusses solutions for problems that impact patient care- Gives readers the tools to improve quality and safety in neurosurgery and examples of how to implement them- Coverage includes chapters on teams, competence, and safety, hospital incentives, quality, safety, and the physician handoff, medication compliance and operating room efficiency, and more
