Medical harm had been known long before the 1990s, so why did it suddenly become popular? And why were safety efforts ineffective? The authors propose that this rise was due to a discursive shift that reframed 'medical harm' into 'medical error' in the setting of anxiety about industrialization and great change in healthcare| Current location | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
