Creating culture of safety: Risk management in healthcare and nursing.

Healthcare service delivery is fundamentally difficult since it involves nuanced interactions between many different parties, cutting-edge technology, and complex clinical procedures. The vital necessity of patient safety and the reduction of potential dangers are becoming more and more obvious as the healthcare landscape changes. In order to promote a culture of safety within the realm of healthcare and nursing, this review paper critically analyses the function of risk management. In this comprehensive review, we examine the various facets of risk management and how critical it is to patient care. With a focus on patient-centeredness and on-going quality improvement, the transformation of healthcare systems from fragmented and episodic treatment models to integrated and preventative paradigms is the main objective of present study. Given their frontline presence and crucial role in patient care, the review clarifies the essential role of nursing professionals in risk management. It looks at how nurses' roles have evolved to include clinical practice, drug administration, infection control, and communication in detecting, assessing, and managing risks. The paper also emphasizes the need of interdisciplinary cooperation by demonstrating how effective risk management transcends conventional barriers and necessitates a group commitment to patient safety. Ultimately, the delivery of high-quality care is the cornerstone of the environment that healthcare organizations and nursing professionals may jointly establish by adopting a proactive approach to risk management.
