Organizing patient safety : failsafe fantasies and pragmatic practices Kirstine Zinck Pedersen - London : PALGRAVE MACMILLAN, c2018. - xxiii, 279 p. ; 22 cm. - Health technology and society .

This book examines the organizational consequences of the recent international preoccupation with managing patient safety in the clinic. Built on presuppositions about failsafe system-design, risk elimination, and human fallibility, the patient safety programme introduces new problems and safety threats in clinical practice by devaluing practical forms of reasoning and the trained safety dispositions of clinicians.
