SUMMARY - Patient Safety Standards

Medical care that's intended to help can harm instead. Surgical errors, medication mistakes, hospital-acquired infections, diagnostic failures, and communication breakdowns injure and kill patients despite everyone's best intentions. Patient safety standards establish expectations for preventing harm, creating systems and practices that reduce the likelihood of errors reaching patients.
