Sustaining perioperative patient safety improvement: the relevance of patient safety policies and contextual factors in European healthcare systems
This study highlights the diverse and evolving nature of patient safety policy landscapes across five European countries. The varying scope, structure, and implementation of patient safety frameworks emphasize the need for context-specific approaches to promote the sustainability of perioperative patient safety initiatives. As the field continues to advance, it is important to tailor approaches that aim to sustain patient safety initiatives.
