When it comes to patient safety, there are many topics to explore, discuss—and most importantly, take action on. Better patient safety doesn't just happen; we all have a role in making it happen. While it's impossible to address every aspect of patient safety at once, tackling the various topics one at a time and creating change in each area can make a tremendous difference to the safety of patients.

The topics on this website cover four priority areas of patient safety:

• ​​Medication safety
• Surgic​al care safety
• Infection prevention and control​
• Home care safety

At CPSI, we believe that focusing on these four areas will lead to accelerated improvement in patient safety in the Canadian healthcare system.
