The inspiring story of how a leading innovator in patient safety found a simple way to save countless lives. First, do no harm-doctors, nurses and clinicians swear by this code of conduct. Yet in hospitals and doctors' offices across the country, errors are made every single day - avoidable, simple mistakes that often cost lives. Inspired by two medical mistakes that not only ended in unnecessary deaths but hit close to home, Dr. Peter Pronovost made it his personal mission to improve patient safety and make preventable deaths a thing of the past, one hospital at a time. Dr. Pronovost began with simple improvements to a common procedure in the ER and ICU units at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Creating an easy five-step checklist based on the most up-to-date research for his fellow doctors and nurses to follow, he hoped that streamlining the procedure itself could slow the rate of infections patients often died from. But what Dr. Pronovost discovered was that doctors and nurses needed more than a checklist: the day-to-day environment needed to be more patient-driven and staff needed to see scientific results in order to know their efforts were a success. After those changes took effect, the units Dr. Pronovost worked with decreased their rate of infection by 70%. Today, all fifty states are implementing Dr. Pronovost's programs, which have the potential to save more lives than any other medical innovation in the past twenty-five years. But his ideas are just the beginning of the changes being made by doctors and nurses across the country making huge leaps to improve patient care. In Safe Patients, Smart Hospitals, Dr. Pronovost shares his own experience, anecdotal stories from his colleagues at Johns Hopkins and other hospitals that have made his approach their own, alongside comprehensive research-showing readers how small changes make a huge difference in patient care. Inspiring and thought provoking, this compelling book shows how one person with a cause really can make a huge difference in our lives.

IoT-enabled Unobtrusive Surveillance Systems for Smart Campus Safety Enables readers to understand a broad area of state-of-the-art research in physical IoT-enabled security IoT-enabled Unobtrusive Surveillance Systems for Smart Campus Safety describes new techniques in unobtrusive surveillance that enable people to act and communicate freely, while at the same time protecting them from malevolent behavior. It begins by characterizing the latest on surveillance systems deployed at smart campuses, miniatures of smart cities with more demanding frameworks that enable learning, social interaction, and creativity, and by performing a comparative assessment in the area of unobtrusive surveillance systems for smart campuses. A proposed taxonomy for IoT-enabled smart campus unfolds in five research dimensions: (1) physical infrastructure; (2) enabling technologies; (3) software analytics; (4) system security; and (5) research methodology. By applying this taxonomy and by adopting a weighted scoring model on the surveyed systems, the book presents the state of the art and then makes a comparative assessment to classify the systems. Finally, the book extracts valuable conclusions and inferences from this classification, providing insights and directions towards required services offered by unobtrusive surveillance systems for smart campuses. IoT-enabled Unobtrusive Surveillance Systems for Smart Campus Safety includes specific discussion of: Smart campus’s prior work taxonomies and classifications, a proposed taxonomy, and an adopted weight scoring model Personal consumer benefits and potential social dilemmas encountered when adopting an unobtrusive surveillance system Systems that focus on smart buildings, public spaces, smart lighting and smart traffic lights, smart labs, and smart campus ambient intelligence A case study of a spatiotemporal authentication unobtrusive surveillance system for smart campus safety and emerging issues for further research directions IoT-enabled Unobtrusive Surveillance Systems for Smart Campus Safety is an essential resource for computer science and engineering academics, professionals, and every individual who is working and doing research in the area of unobtrusive surveillance systems and physical security to face malevolent behavior in smart campuses.
