Resumen del libro
| Publisher Summary 1 |
| Berwick collects a decade's worth of opening speeches delivered at the National Forum on Quality Improvement in Health Care, an annual event of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, of which he is cofounder and president. He uses a range of metaphors to address questions of innovation, quality of care, and organizational structure and change (the title refers to a firefighter's burning a small patch of ground in order to escape a larger approaching fire).

| Publisher Summary 2 |
| Spanning a decade (1992-2002), these speeches echo the theme that our health care system needs fundamental change and a revolutionary new design. Throughout the book, Berwick identifies innovations and ideas from a number of surprising sources?a girls' soccer team, a sinking ship, and the safety standards at NASA. Escape Fire takes its title from the 1949 Mann Gulch tragedy in which thirteen young firefighters were trapped in a wildfire on a Montana hillside. The firefighter's leader, Wag Dodge, devised a creative solution for avoiding the encroaching fire. He burned a patch of grass and lay down in the middle of the scorched earth. His team refused to join him, and most perished in the fire. Dodge survived. Berwick applies the lessons learned from the catastrophe to our ailing health care system?we must not let ingrained processes obstruct life-saving innovation. Not content to simply define the problems with our flawed system, Berwick outlines new designs and suggests practical tools for change: name the problem, build on success, take leaps of faith, look outside of the medical field, set aims, understand systems, make action lists, and?the most fundamental of all?never lose sight of the patient as the central figure. |
