Patient Safety and Clinical Risk Management

The Institute of Medicine defines patient safety as the prevention of harm to patients implying a broad focus on a system of care delivery aiming at: (i) preventing errors; (ii) learning from existing errors; and (iii) building on a culture of safety that involves health care professionals at various levels, organizations and patients. The effective implementation of patient safety and clinical risk management policies require you to be committed to education and training to practice harm prevention safely.
