First, we make a general acknowledgment to major contributors to the field of patient safety whose work we have drawn on for this book. Among them are James Reason, Karl Weick, Jens Rasmussen, Richard Cook, David Woods, and Karlene Roberts. Special thanks to Lucian Leape for writing the Foreword he has been not only a pioneer in the field but also a mentor. Don Berwick, president of the Center for Healthcare Improvement, and Jim Conway, chief operating officer of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, both in Boston, have made substantial contributions through their work, which appears in this book.
