Solid content, not so great structure
There are many aspects of this book that I really liked, particular, the coverage of health care quality body of knowledge in general. In a few areas, the presentation of information was brilliant, as an example, the summarization quality management tools (including concise and brilliantly presented summary of control charts). I wanted to give the book 3.5 starts and had to settle with 3 or 4 and after some deliberation, I gave it 3. The reason is the poor presentation of the information in general and especially in patient safety section. I personally bought the book specifically to educate myself on patient safety and prep for the Certified Professional in Healthcare Quality (CPHQ) exam, which I passed. I found reading and comprehending the text in many areas and again, particularly in the patient safety section to be a difficult job. The information is presented in a very monotone fashion and as if you are reading a collection of training materials which are merged together without making sure the text is cohesive. Terms and organizations were not logically introduced and events are not chronically narrated. As a result, I had to frequently go back few pages or chapters back and re-read part of the text to make sense of a concept. In general, this book is a better reference than a study and training material, and perhaps, this has always been the intention of the authors.
