Patient Safety, Health Care and Well-being

Patient Safety Factors

Patient safety is an essential part of nursing care that aims to prevent avoidable errors and patient harm. Patient safety is a feature of a healthcare system and a set of tested ways for improving care. A human factors approach is key to safer healthcare. It will become part of the core curricula of all health professionals. A human factors approach to patient safety starts with an understanding of the things that support or hinder the way people work.
