Just finished reading this book and I'd highly recommend it to anyone
who has anything to do with healthcare and improvement. Atul Gawande is a
surgeon who lives in Boston and works as an assistant professor at
Harvard Medical School. This is his second book (after 'Complications'
several years ago). The book is basically a series of short stories of
success within medicine where resources are stretched and tasks
seemingly impossible. Examples include the WHO's worldwide polio
vaccination programme, treating polytrauma casualties in Iraq and the
medicine's constant battle against hospital acquired infections. His
stories all revolve around a common theme of improvement in face of
adversity. He makes his point in the final part of the book where he
talks about the 'young science of improvement'. His argument is that not
enough is being done to make the most of what we already have and
changing the systems we work in.
