Medical Subject Headings (MeSH): Accidents

Accidents can occur in any workplace, and healthcare facilities are no exception. Some common types of accidents that can occur in healthcare settings include: Medication errors: These can occur when a patient is given the wrong medication, the wrong dosage of medication, or medication at the wrong time. Falls: Patients, especially those who are elderly or have mobility issues, may be at risk of falling while in a healthcare facility. Infections: Patients can contract infections while in a healthcare facility, either due to poor hygiene practices or contaminated equipment. Needle sticks: Healthcare workers may accidentally stick themselves with needles while administering medications or performing procedures. Equipment malfunctions: Equipment such as defibrillators or X-ray machines can malfunction, potentially leading to accidents. By implementing safety protocols and procedures and using technology to improve safety, healthcare facilities can help prevent these and other types of accidents.
