Hi Sultan,

Hospitals in different parts of the world implement different degrees of risk management activities. The presence of regulations that control quality and safety in hospitals play an important role in reducing risk events e.g. Accreditation programs or state regulations. However, the Health secretary in the Uk has claimed recently that Hospitals are wasting up to £2.5bn a year of the NHS’s budget through poor care and medical errors. 

Many studies has shown that good communication among staff and with patients as well as team work can reduce medical mistakes resulting from miscommunication among care-givers, as well as reducing medical malpractice lawsuits resulting from miscommunication between patients and care-providers.

AT the end, leadership vision and commitment, at all levels, play an important role in improving patient safety and reducing sentinel events.

Governance,Leadership and Directions are of paramount importance in the modern day hospitals, Communication, rather effective communication is another important issue.
