Abstract

The surgical field has witnessed significant advancements in patient safety measures over recent years. This paper explores the innovative strategies that have been implemented to enhance patient safety in surgical settings. It delves into the integration of technology, such as electronic health records and wearable monitoring devices, which has improved communication and decision-making processes. Additionally, the paper discusses the role of checklists, standardized protocols, and simulation training in reducing errors and improving outcomes. Patient engagement and cultural competence are also highlighted as crucial factors in ensuring safe surgical practices. The paper provides an overview of the current state of patient safety in surgery, emphasizing the importance of continuous education and research to further refine these measures.
