Modern needs in health technology assessment: a study of comparative effectiveness

CIRS-AINS Spezial: Flugstunden für Anästhesisten: „Cleared for take-off and cross-check?“

Ein aktiv betriebenes, lebendiges CIRS kann hier Impulse setzen, für kritische Ereignisse sensibilisieren und ein Fehlerbewusstsein schaffen.…”
