Pediatric & Geriatric Patient Safety
Pediatric & Geriatric Patient Safety refers to practices and measures designed to reduce the risk of harm to patients of all ages while receiving medical care. It focuses on reducing preventable medical errors, including medication errors, wrong-site surgeries, and falls, as well as decreasing the risk of medical mistakes related to medical technology, poor communication, and substandard care. Pediatric & Geriatric Patient Safety has become an increasingly important public health issue as the population ages, with an emphasis on the safety of elderly patients in particular. Ensuring patient safety for all ages through appropriate patient care, communication, and reviewing and improving processes is essential for providing quality health care.
