The document discusses proven strategies for improving patient safety based on rigorous research evidence. It recommends implementing two strategies - using antibiotic prophylaxis to prevent infections and establishing a critical care outreach team to prevent failures to rescue. While there is strong evidence that antibiotic prophylaxis reduces infections, the evidence for critical care outreach teams is less certain. Effective implementation and supportive organizational contexts are also important for success. The document advocates testing interventions on a small scale first to adapt them locally before broader spread.

Editor's Notes
- Goal: Identify Patients Correctly � Requirement 1: Use at least two (2) ways to identify a patient when giving medicines, blood or blood products; taking blood samples and other specimens for clinical testing, or providing any other treatments or procedures. The patient's room number cannot be used to identify the patient. Goal: Improve Effective Communication � Requirement 2: Implement a process/procedure for taking verbal or telephone orders, or for the reporting of critical test results that requires a verification "read-back" of the complete order or test result by the person receiving the information. NOTE: Not all countries permit verbal or telephone orders. Goal: Improve the Safety of High-alert Medications Requirement 3: Remove concentrated electrolytes (including, but not limited to, potassium chloride, potassium phosphate, sodium chloride >0.9%) from patient care units. Goal: Eliminate Wrong-site, Wrong-patient, Wrong-procedure Surgery Requirement 4: Use a checklist, including a "time-out" just before starting a surgical procedure, to ensure the correct patient, procedure and body part. Requirement 5: Develop a process or checklist to verify that all documents and equipment needed for surgery are on hand and correct and functioning properly before surgery begins. Requirement 6: Mark the precise site where the surgery will be performed. Use a clearly understood mark and involve the patient in doing this. Goal: Reduce the Risk of Health Care � acquired Infections Requirement 7: Comply with current published and generally accepted hand hygiene guidelines. NOTE: This should recognize that not all countries have a CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) or may not recognize the US CDC. Goal: Reduce the Risk of Patient Harm Resulting from Falls Requirement 8: Assess and periodically reassess each patient's risk for falling, including the potential risk associated with the patient's medication regimen, and take action to decrease or eliminate any identified risks.
