Frequently Asked Questions
Risk management helps prevent harm to patients and staff by identifying and reducing potential hazards. It improves safety, quality of care, and supports legal and professional compliance.
A near miss is an incident that could have caused harm but did not. An adverse event results in unintended harm to a patient and may require treatment or cause injury.
Nurses must provide safe care, follow safety policies, attend required training, and report hazards or incidents in line with HSA and NMBI requirements.
Clear communication tools like SBAR and timely escalation reduce errors, improve teamwork, and ensure patient concerns are addressed quickly and safely.
