Background: Finding the best practices for accident prevention is possible by identifying the influential factors affecting accident occurrence and their interactions as well as implementing corrective actions for the root cause factors.
Objective: This study was aimed to determine the cause-effect relationships and the interaction of the influential factors affecting accident occurrence and determine the critical root factors.
Methods: This study was carried out based on the opinions of a panel of experts and used the fuzzy DEMATEL method.
Results: The results showed that "organization safety attitude", "safety communication", "work and safety training" and "safe design of systems" are root cause variables. Also, "work and safety knowledge" and "experience in the job" are individual cause variables.
Conclusions: Organizational factors and some of individual variables are the critical factors that affect the occurrence of accidents. Therefore, corrective actions for accident prevention should primarily focus on the correction of these variables.

DIALOG Programme, Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, Leatherhead, UK.
Falls in the inpatient units are the most frequently reported patient safety incidents and their consequences can be devastating. Risk factors for falls are broadly categorised into two factors-'extrinsic and intrinsic' and while the effect of functional mental health conditions on falls has not been extensively studied, older adults with dementia are at a higher risk of falling. Their impact could lead to delayed functional recovery, distress, increased length of hospital stays and an increased fear of falling.

Background: There is an under-reporting of anaesthesia-related safety events. Incident-capturing systems (ICSs) are essential for patient safety monitoring, identifying risks and ongoing opportunities for improvement. After a literature review and assessment of our current ICSs, we concluded that our institution lacked a reliable anaesthesia-specific ICS system, leading to under-reporting of anaesthesia-related safety events.
