Mitarbeiter und Leitungskräfte von Altenpflegeeinrichtungen stehen unter permanentem Zeitdruck. Eine systematische Analyse von Fehlern und Problemen ist kaum möglich. Notwendige Maßnahmen finden nicht statt. Die Qualität leidet. Herbert Müller schafft Abhilfe: Kurz und knapp werden die 100 häufigsten Fehler bei der Arbeitsorganisation benannt und mit Lösungen bzw. Korrekturmaßnahmen versehen. Leitungskräfte und Mitarbeiter können dieses Buch zur Prophylaxe (Vorbeugung), aber auch zur Therapie (Behandlung der Fehler) einsetzen. Es ist ein entscheidender Beitrag zur Fehlervermeidung und -beseiti.
