PATIENT SAFETY ENVIRONMENT WITH REDWERT INCIDENT MANAGEMENT MODULE

Years ago, Florence Nightingale wrote,

“It may seem a strange principle to enunciate as the very first requirement in a hospital that it should do the sick no harm”

Till today “doing no harm” to patients is part of the Hospital patient safety goal worldwide. This year we celebrated World 1st patient safety day for the awareness and the need to establish patient safety as a global health priority with slogan Speak up for patient safety.

We speak a lot about the safety of the patient, What is the definition of patient safety?

Patient safety has been defined in the Canadian Patient Safety Dictionary as

“The reduction and mitigation of unsafe acts within the health care system, as well as through the use of best practices shown to lead to optimal patient outcomes”

Who is prone to incidents?
