The Institute of Medicine has put forward a well-conceived and clearly articulated national goal — for each individual to be provided healthcare that is safe, timely, efficient, effective, equitable (just/fair) and patient-centered (STEEEP). The author emphatically concurs with and endorses the Institute of Medicine’s logic and goal. The purpose of this concise book is to position each unique individual — you and those near and dear to you — to enable the better angels assembled to care for you provide safe, effective compassionate care. Safer Medical Care for You and Yours — Six Tools for Safe, Effective Compassionate Care provides examples of six tested gift tools for the individual to understand, appreciate and then emulate in her/his uniquely personal manner.
