Patient safety solutions
The Patient Safety Solutions (2007) are standardized tools for health care professionals to prevent potential errors from reaching the patient. These interventions have demonstrated the ability to prevent or mitigate patient harm.
For each topic, the Solutions include background information on the problem and impact, suggested actions, applicability, opportunities for patient and family involvement, strength of the evidence, potential barriers to implementation and risks for certain unintended consequences.
