Description & Coverage
Description:

Quality of life is difficult to define and even more difficult to measure; as such, outcomes from nursing in continuing care are not easily articulated.

Quality Assurance in Healthcare Service Delivery, Nursing and Personalized Medicine: Technologies and Processes offers a framework for measuring quality of service in the healthcare industry as it pertains to nursing, with insight into how new technologies and the design of personalized medicine have improved quality of care and quality of life. Assessment and feedback are a vital part of developing and designing personalized medicine, and this book details case studies and the latest research in the field of healthcare service delivery assessment. In addition to describing assessment methodology, the book is also a compendium of the latest research into new medical technologies.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Bioethics
  • Medical Informatics
  • Patient and Nurse Assessment
  • Personalized Medicine
  • Quality Assessment and Assurance
  • Quality Of Care
  • Risk Management
  • Service Delivery
  • Systems biology
  • Telemedicine Services
Reviews & Statements

T[his] new book will be an excellent source of comprehensive knowledge and literature on the topic of quality assurance in healthcare service delivery, nursing and personalized medicine.
