Product Description

This book describes how the integrated approach offered by health services research can improve the quality of care provided to critically ill patients. By focusing on the needs of the patient, health services research links conventional scientific disciplines, systems research, education, and management, with the aim of translating developments in knowledge into sustained change in culture and practice. Intensive care has much to offer in this respect, as it can both benefit from and contribute to the collaborative methodology of health services research. Although the contributions are directed at critical care, the content is relevant to all health care disciplines, including health services administration.
