Resumen:
A patient safety incident (PSI) is an event or circumstance which could have resulted, or did result, in unnecessary harm to a patient. The term encompasses the more frequently used terms medical error and system failure, and is now preferred. PSIs are a common cause of morbidity and mortality in a variety of health care settings. Some situations, as complex or urgent care, carry a greater risk, but significant errors may occur in any setting.
