Patient safety is a critical aspect of healthcare that focuses on preventing and reducing errors, injuries, accidents, and other harmful events that may occur during the course of medical treatment. This field of research aims to improve the quality of healthcare delivery by implementing various measures and protocols to ensure the safety and well-being of patients. This includes strategies such as medication reconciliation, hand hygiene, infection control, and communication between healthcare providers and patients. Patient safety research also involves analyzing systems, processes, and human factors that contribute to errors, and developing interventions to mitigate risks and enhance the overall safety of healthcare practices.
