Abstract
”Patient safety is a discipline that emphasizes safety in health care through the prevention, reduction, reporting and analysis of error and other types of unnecessary harm that often lead to adverse patient events. The frequency and magnitude of avoidable adverse events, often known as patient safety incidents, experienced by patients was not well known until the 1990s, when multiple countries reported significant numbers of patients harmed and killed by medical errors. Recognizing that healthcare errors impact 1 in every 10 patients around the world, the World Health Organization (WHO) calls patient safety an endemic concern. Indeed, patient safety has emerged as a distinct healthcare discipline supported by an immature yet developing scientific framework. There is a significant transdisciplinary body of theoretical and research literature that informs the science of patient safety. The aim of the present study was to Assess patient safety measures in the target health care units in Bilqas and Identify factors affecting the application of safety measures standards in this health care units. The present study was Cross sectional study with analytic component conducted in Bilqasdistrict located inDakahlia Health Directorate That contain56 units delivers health care services to about 1 millionpersons from 2019 – 2020. 400 health care workers in family health units were included in the study.
