Introduction to Safety and Security in Healthcare

Abstract

Patient safety and security must be the most important things for health systems to be both efficient and of good quality. Healthcare settings are both complicated and dangerous since patients, healthcare personnel, and resources are always interacting with each other. Not having enough safety and security measures can lead to damage to patients, injuries at work, data breaches, and a loss of trust in the public. This review covers the most important ideas about safety and security in healthcare, such as patient safety, workplace safety, physical security, and information protection. To get better health care results and lower risks, it is important to establish a culture of safety, strong leadership support, and systematic methods.
