Synopsis:
In 1999, the Institute of Medicine began publishing a series of technical reports on quality and health care that made an enormous and lasting influence on the healthcare sector with regard to improved patient safety, higher quality of care, and reduced errors. Teaching IOM synthesizes twelve of these reports. It focuses on nursing education strategies and the core competencies derived from these reports and documentation and how to use the reports in the classroom. The companion CD-ROM provides additional material for incorporating IOM reports content into curricula and teaching-learning experiences, a sample exam of the critical elements of this content, and an extensive reference and reading list to complement the one in the book. The CD also contains PowerPoint presentations with notes on the book's five major topics; healthcare safety, healthcare quality, public health safety and quality, healthcare diversity, and linkage between research and evidence-based practice. For any class or course, the book is useful for teaching about each aspect of the IOM reports in their focus on quality of care and patient outcomes. Nursing faculty can use this as a teaching tool to discuss contemporary issues with graduate or undergraduate students. These include identifying work redesign in terms of integration of technology; addressing patient safety, quality, and national quality indicators, using electronic medical records and documentation, and funding from research, education, and health policy agencies and professional organizations. Clinical educators will find the book useful to update nurses as to the why dramatic changes are taking place in their work environment
