Patient safety is a top concern among all medical professionals. Most take the Hippocratic Oath to do no harm very seriously. However, medicine is an inexact science, and it is performed by humans who are all too fallible. Accidents occur even in the best of circumstances.

Mistakes in medication and dosage and slip-ups during surgery are some of the more common medical accidents. Of course, these are all avoidable incidents. Any time there is an accident, there is also an increased likelihood of a malpractice lawsuit. Even with ample malpractice insurance, these are still events physicians prefer to avoid.

The Journal of Patient Safety is all about reducing the risk of accidents in your practice. Published quarterly, this academic resource covers case studies of real medical accidents and explores how they could have been avoided. It also discusses common areas in which medical mistakes are made and provides practical advice on preventing such accidents from happening. The information in the Journal of Patient Safety can be immediately incorporated into your professional practice.
