Background
Throughout the medical history، it has been considered that medical activities should be done and determined accurately; otherwise these activities may damage patients’ life. Indeed، the first goal of every medical organization is to prevent from putting patient safety into danger due to delivering health services. Therefore، nowadays، patient safety is taking more attention in clinical cares. Meanwhile، most of the efforts which are done in this area are kind of reaction and trying to solve problem after it happens. Trying to recognize and eliminate hazards beforehand plays an important role in safety improvement. The time that all staff understands and internalizes the importance of safety، it becomes a value and a priority inside the organization and it turns to a culture. When speaking about patient safety، aspects including structure، environment، technology and equipment، processes، individuals، leadership systems and culture help us to understand this topic. Of course، the way that people think and behave in front of safety can play an important role in attempts to create a safe environment. In fact، safety and patient safety culture have meaning while being together. Also، there are some factors involving expectations، management support and activities، organizational learning and continuous improvement، team work، open communicational channels، reporting and accountability for medical errors، staff and way of transferring information which affect patient safety culture. Despite the importance of safety and patient safety culture in medical care area، few organizations consider supporting patient safety in their organizational culture. Indeed، the existence of proper organizational culture، which supports patient safety in health care area، is a prerequisite and essence of moving towards creating a safer environment for patients and reducing medical error related costs. This study is trying to focus on the importance of patient safety in an organized safety culture framework and to describe definitions، concepts، dimensions، aspects and effective factors on safety and patient safety culture in an understandable way through reviewing and studying literatures and related scientific articles.
