patient safety practices

Patient safety practices are procedures designed to prevent errors and protect patients during healthcare. This includes accurate identification, clear communication, proper hand hygiene, equipment checks, and monitoring for adverse reactions. These practices ensure that patients receive correct treatments, medications, and procedures while reducing risks like infections or mistakes. Healthcare staff follow established protocols and encourage reporting errors to improve safety. Overall, patient safety aims to create a healthcare environment where mistakes are minimized, and patients feel confident in the quality of care they receive.
