The purpose of this commentary is to bring attention to patient safety in physical therapy, especially to the system factors that contribute to error, and to advocate for improving methods of reducing patient harm by increasing focus on a systems approach. Healthcare delivery is a complex undertaking with multiple individuals working to provide the best care in technically challenging environments. This, combined with human fallibility, makes error inevitable. However, error does not have to result in patient harm. Historically, patient safety efforts in physical therapy have focused on the individual provider. Research shows that most patient harm occurs because of a recurrent set of circumstances and system conditions rather than solely the error of one provider. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
