Here are five ways:
1. Create a culture that makes patient safety a top priority. During meetings, have “prevention” as an item of discussion.
2. Implement a patient safety program with standard operating procedures and protocols.
3. Have a corrective action process in place if an error happens.
4. Patients should play a part in the decision-making process. Make sure patients fully understand Informed Consent.
5. Always update your protocols to lower future risk.
