Abstract

It is inevitable that clinical errors will occur, and these errors can have disastrous effects on the patient, the clinicians, the nurses, and the institution. Care protocols that shield patients from preventable damage must be developed to create a secure healthcare system. Consequently, this article is intended to identify the contributing factors leading to medical malpractice, laying a solid foundation for medical practitioners and related administrators to make appropriate adjustments to the current medical system. Moreover, even though more people have come to be well aware of the seriousness of medical errors, correlative articles dissecting the occurrence of them remain to be published, this paper can thus bridge the gap. To collect more reliable data and up-to-date information, a quantity of the latest English and Chinese papers, publications, and journals published between 2000 and 2023 on patient safety have been collected and then reviewed by searching both medical subject titles like ‘medical malpractice’ and ‘safety management, and keywords found in abstracts or headings like ‘safety’, ‘mistakes’, and ‘medical’.
