Symplur: Patient Safety

Patient safety ensures the safety of patients during a healthcare process by preventing any unnecessary harm to an acceptable minimum. The occurrence of unsafe events during a medical procedure is one of the 10 leading causes of death worldwide. Patient safety discipline emerged due to healthcare systems' complexity and increased incidents of patient harm within healthcare facilities. The patient safety goals aim to prevent and reduce the medical errors that occur during healthcare provision. The world patient safety day is celebrated on September 17 every year to create patient safety awareness among people.
