Patient safety is everyone's responsibility and involves preventing accidental or preventable injuries from medical care through a system that prevents errors and learns from mistakes. Safety encompasses protecting people, property, and facilities from hazards through infrastructure safety, fire protection, and secure equipment and material storage. Key goals are accurately identifying patients, improving communication, enhancing medication safety, avoiding wrong-site procedures, reducing infections, and minimizing falls. Managing stress is important, as excessive worrying can paralyze our abilities; it is best to acknowledge worries but then put them down to stay capable of taking action. Effective team building requires selecting tasks, delegating responsibilities, and employing strategy, while fostering decision making, coping with pressure, and building trust.
