If you want all of the book content do not purchase the electronic version. Most of the figures have been removed due to copyright issues
I'm a graduate student, and many of my required readings were from this book. I finally purchased it for myself although it wasn't required. It's been a great resource to keep on my bookshelf and I'm sure I'll use it more over the years.
I had to buy this book for a grad school course and I prefer to use electronic formats so I always have my books with me wherever I go. However, this book has most of the illustrations and tables removed in the Kindle format due to "copy write restrictions". I would have bought the paper version if I would have known this was an issue. Its and expensive book to buy considering half the content is missing.
This book is simply fantastic. It provides great coverage of quality improvement and how it impacts other disciplines as well as how to implement various methodologies. By addressing basics and contemporary topics in quality, it makes a great reference that I frequently refer to.
First of all, it's a textbook, who likes textbooks? My issue is that it does not have page numbers. Other books are a "picture" of the page, so it shows graphs and footnotes, margins, page numbers, etc- just like a real book. This one shows up like a book for pleasure reading- as in you can change the letter size. This would be fine if I didn't need graphs and charts and page numbers to cite. Other books allow for zooming in on charts, this doesn't even have the charts. This book looses it formatting. Sucks for school.
Exactly what I needed- exactly what was described. Good condition. What can I say- a book is a book. But it was exactly what I ordered and expected.
I learned a lot from this textbook, but it felt like information overload at points. The examples were relevant, and I liked the links of information provided to real-life CUI experiences in healthcare settings.
Not the most recent version which is what I thought I was getting and am missing the updated items but it is meeting the basic needs
