Patient safety initiatives

Patient safety initiatives are programs and practices aimed at preventing harm to patients during healthcare delivery. These initiatives promote best practices such as proper medication administration, effective communication among healthcare providers, and thorough patient education. They involve reporting and analyzing errors or near-misses to learn and improve healthcare processes. By prioritizing patient safety, hospitals and clinics strive to create a culture where patients receive the highest quality care, reducing the risk of accidents and enhancing overall health outcomes. Ultimately, these initiatives help ensure that patients feel safe and supported during their treatment.
