Patient Safety

Patient safety is the absence of patient injury during the health care process and the reduction in the risk of unnecessary injuries associated with health care is to a minimum. Minimum acceptableness refers to the overlapping perceptions of current information provided, the resources available and the context in which care is delivered when considered at risk of non-treatment or other treatment.

The frequency and severity of adverse events in patients was not well known until the 1990s, when many countries reported that patients were injured and killed by medical errors. Recognizing that health care errors affect 1 in 10 patients worldwide, the World Health Organization calls patient safety a concern for disease. Indeed, patient safety has emerged as a distinctive health discipline supported by an unstable scientific framework. Patient safety is an important element of an effective, efficient health care system where quality prevails. Safety has to do with lack of harm. Quality has to do with efficient, effective, purposeful care that gets the job done at the right time. Safety focuses on avoiding bad events.
