  • Patient safety science has changed a lot over the last 70 years with four frameworks: Safety-0, Safety-1, Safety-2, and Safety-3, which help understand how to keep patients safe better.
  • In Safety-0, the focus is on preventing harm by improving staffing and education, while Safety-1 looks at both individual mistakes and system failures to create safer hospitals.
  • Safety-2 and Safety-3 go further by emphasizing how doctors can adapt to changes and designing systems that help prevent harm, making the care process safer for patients.
