Quantros Giving Away 1,000 Free Fatal Care Books To Mark Ongoing Education During National Patient Safety Awareness Week
"Fatal Care: Survive in the U.S. Health System" Recounts Real-Life Stories of Victims of Preventable Medical Errors and Directs Readers on Ways to Protect Loved Ones
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) March 12, 2009 -- Quantros, a leading provider of safety, quality and compliance solutions for the healthcare industry, is giving away 1,000 free copies of the book "Fatal Care: Survive in the U.S. Health System," to recognize the importance of National Patient Safety Awareness Week (PSAW).
The book, written by Quantros President, CEO and CMO, Dr. Sanjaya Kumar, reflects Quantros' commitment to helping healthcare providers reduce the number of preventable deaths and injuries that occur in U.S. healthcare facilities each year.
PSAW, which runs March 8-14, is a national education and awareness-building campaign organized by the National Patient Safety Foundation to improve patient safety at the local level. Fatal Care is a perfect partner to this important patient health initiative because it illustrates the tragic fact that as many as 98,000 patient deaths occur in the U.S. each year as a result of medical errors.
Fatal Care has been described as unique and unlike any other healthcare-related books because it blends real-life dramas that illustrate the gaps in the healthcare system with factual information and analysis for consumers and providers. This book is currently being used by healthcare organizations for safety culture educational purposes and to increase patient safety awareness across the globe.
"Preventable medical errors alone impact or harm at least 5 million Americans annually, costing more than $17-$21 billion dollars," said Dr. Kumar. "But even more significant is the tragic human cost that results and engulfs those affected or impacted by preventable medical errors," he added. It is for this reason that Dr. Kumar has dedicated his professional life to increasing the awareness of these incidents and helping develop products designed to improve the quality of healthcare.
Fatal Care takes readers behind the statistics and into the lives of those who have experienced, first hand, the impact of what these numbers represent. Every case in the book brings to life the chain of events that led to mishaps, and proposes solutions to prevent future mistakes and protect patients.
