• What is Patient Safety? Patient safety is a healthcare discipline that emerged with the evolving complexity in healthcare systems and the resulting rise of patient harm in healthcare facilities. It aims to prevent and reduce risks, errors, and harm that occur to patients during the provision of healthcare. The World Health Organization (WHO) describes patient safety as "the absence of preventable harm to a patient during the process of health care and reduction of risk of unnecessary harm associated with health care to an acceptable minimum." An "acceptable minimum" refers to the collective notions of current knowledge, resources available, and the context in which care was delivered, weighed against the risk of non-treatment or other treatment. • Fundamental Importance: Patient safety is a fundamental principle of healthcare and a critical component of quality care. The tenet "Primum non nocere" (First, do no harm) has been a long-standing ethical commitment. Ensuring patient safety directly impacts patient outcomes, fosters trust in the healthcare system, and is crucial for the well-being of both patients and healthcare providers. It is not merely about avoiding errors but about creating robust systems that make care safer.
