Track 3: Nursing, and Patient Safety
What is Nursing, and Patient Safety?
Nursing is a profession within the healthcare sector that focuses on the care of individuals, families, and communities to maintain or improve their health and well-being. Nurses work in various healthcare settings and provide a wide range of services, including assessing patients’ health conditions, developing care plans, administering medications, assisting with medical procedures, and educating patients and their families.
Nurses play a crucial role in promoting health, preventing illness, and providing compassionate care to those who are sick or injured. They work closely with other healthcare professionals to ensure coordinated and effective patient care. Nursing encompasses a diverse range of specialties and roles, such as registered nurses, nurse practitioners, licensed practical nurses, and nurse educators, among others.
Patient safety is a fundamental aspect of healthcare that focuses on preventing harm or injuries to patients during the provision of medical care. It involves identifying, analyzing, and addressing factors that contribute to errors and adverse events in healthcare settings. Patient safety is a shared responsibility among healthcare professionals, organizations, and patients themselves.
