| Popis: | The past 4 decades have seen a remarkable re-engineering of health care, particularly with respect to surgical services and the formalization of patient safety protocols. As various forces drove many surgical procedures to the ambulatory setting, many advantages, and perhaps several disadvantages, quickly became apparent. In some studies, adverse events were found to be more common in office settings for instance, and it was quickly recognized that the formal quality controls that had evolved in the hospital setting were not always transferred to the outpatient facility. This article traces the development of health care's response to this challenge. |
