Patient Safety and Quality Improvement
Patient safety and quality improvement focus on ensuring healthcare is effective, reliable, and free from harm. Patient safety involves identifying and preventing errors or injuries during medical care, like medication mistakes or infections. Quality improvement aims to enhance healthcare processes, making services more efficient and patient-centered. Together, they promote a healthcare environment where patients receive safe, high-quality care, and systems are continuously refined to prevent problems and improve outcomes. This approach benefits patients, providers, and the overall healthcare system by fostering trust and better health results.
