What is Patient Safety?

Introduction. What is patient safety? Are “accidents” random and unpredictable, and thus there is little that one can do about them?  This brief video from the Leapfrog Group explains the concept of patient safety and describes the main types of preventable patient harms. The Leapfrog Group is a non-profit watchdog organization of health care purchasers (such as Fortune 100 companies). It provides resources on patient safety, especially related to hospitals.
