Description

Medical Harm examines the concept and phenomenon of iatrogenic illness by integrating history, philosophy, medical ethics and empirical data. With up to thirteen percent of hospital admissions resulting from adverse effects of diagnosis or treatment, and almost seventy percent of iatrogenic complications being preventable, understanding medical harm is essential for healthcare delivery. This Cambridge University Press publication addresses the central medical obligation to 'do no harm' and explores how iatrogenic illness has become a recognised significant risk factor in modern healthcare. The book covers critical issues including appropriateness of care and acceptable risk in clinical practice, providing readers with a comprehensive exploration of how medical interventions can inadvertently cause harm and what measures can prevent such complications.

Integrates empirical data with philosophical and ethical analysis to explore the concept of medical harm comprehensively.
