Doody's Review
"The best points of the book are its use of Joint Commission Standards, both in the United States and globally, at the beginning of each chapter. Throughout the chapters, there are also tips to help with developing strategies. As someone new to the IP field, the book kept my interest. I found the information well written, easy to read, and useful."
-- Irene Newquist, BSN MSN (VA Nebraska-Western Iowa Health Care System) Doody's Review
"This edition provides relevant information, including in areas where there have been changes in the past three to four years."
