Patient Safety

Patient safety refers to the discipline and practices aimed at minimizing the risk of harm to patients during healthcare delivery. It encompasses a wide range of strategies, processes, and measures designed to prevent medical errors, adverse events, and other preventable injuries that can occur in healthcare settings. The primary goal of patient safety is to foster a culture of safety within healthcare institutions, ensuring that the systems, protocols, and practices in place prioritize the well-being of patients. This includes effective communication among healthcare professionals, proper training, adherence to guidelines and protocols, and the implementation of safety technologies. By focusing on patient safety, healthcare providers strive to enhance the quality of care and improve patient outcomes.
