Patient Safety

Global Patient Safety Framework

Implementing the WHO Global Patient Safety Action Plan and international best practices — from adverse event management to safety culture development across healthcare organisations.

Strategic Objectives

The WHO Global Patient Safety Action Plan 2021–2030 establishes seven strategic objectives that guide patient safety policy and practice worldwide. Our approach integrates these objectives into practical operational frameworks.

Safety as a Health Priority

Embedding patient safety into national and organisational health policies, governance structures and strategic planning processes at every level.

High-Reliability Systems

Designing healthcare delivery systems that anticipate, prevent and recover from safety incidents through standardisation, redundancy and resilience.

Safety of Clinical Processes

Ensuring the safety of medication practices, surgical procedures, diagnostic pathways, transitions of care and infection prevention across all clinical settings.

Patient & Family Engagement

Empowering patients and families as active partners in their care and safety, including shared decision-making and patient-reported safety concerns.

Health Worker Safety

Addressing the safety and wellbeing of healthcare workers, including occupational health, psychological safety and protection from workplace hazards.

Information & Research

Generating evidence through safety research, incident reporting systems, data analytics and knowledge translation to continuously improve safety outcomes.

Adverse Event Reporting Systems

Effective patient safety relies on robust incident reporting, analysis and learning systems. We help organisations design and optimise their reporting frameworks aligned with international standards and jurisdictional requirements.
