Book excerpt: Through the generosity of the Rosenthal Family Foundation (formerly the Richard and Hinda Rosenthal Foundation), a discussion series was created to bring greater attention to some of the significant health policy issues facing our nation today. Each year a major health topic is addressed through remarks and conversation between experts in the field. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) later publishes the proceedings from this event for the benefit of a wider audience. This volume summarizes an engaging discussion on the IOM 2002 report, Keeping Patients Safe: Transforming the Work Environment of Nurses.
