Patient safety is a healthcare discipline focused on preventing errors, injuries, and adverse events during the delivery of medical care, such as medication mistakes, falls, infections, or surgical complications. Hospitals, clinics, and healthcare workers at all levels implement safety protocols, checklists, and reporting systems to minimize risk and improve outcomes. It is a foundational priority in nursing, medicine, and healthcare administration, often guided by standards from bodies like The Joint Commission.
