A. medical director’s odyssey and perspective . Paul E. Miller, MD. Definition of Patient Safety. ‘Patient . Safety: Freedom from accidental injury stemming from the processes of health care. These events include “errors,” “deviations,” and “accidents.” Safety emerges from the interaction of the components of the system; it does not reside in a person, device or department. Improving safety depends on learning how safety emerges from the interactions of the components and processes that minimize the likelihood of errors and maximize the likelihood of intercepting them when they occur. Patient safety is a subset of healthcare quality.
