A Surgeon's Notes on Performance

Atul Gawande examines how medical professionals can improve performance when good intentions are not enough. Through case studies from surgery, childbirth, infection control, battlefield medicine, and other areas of care, he explores diligence, ingenuity, and doing what is right. The book considers why proven practices are not always adopted and how small improvements can substantially affect patient outcomes.
