Definitions:
“The absence of preventable harm to a patient and reduction of risk of unnecessary harm associated with health care to an acceptable minimum.”
Patient safety is a framework of organized activities that creates cultures, processes, procedures, behaviours, technologies and environments in health care that consistently and sustainably lower risks, reduce the occurrence of avoidable harm, make error less likely and reduce its impact when it does occur. (Quoted from WHO)
