The Concept of Safety
Definition from Giddens:
Safety is:
1. Freedom from accidental injury; ensuring patient safety involves the establishment of
operational systems and processes that minimize the likelihood of errors and maximizes the
likelihood of intercepting them when they occur.
2. Avoiding injuries to patients from the care that is intended to help them.
3. Safety standard: The healthcare environment should be safe for all patients, in all its
processes, all of the time.




Task
