The same principle is relevant in healthcare. Opportunities for patient harm are infinitely creative and can occur at any point in the healthcare delivery process. These narratives demonstrate how diverse people, with different roles, each contribute to making patient care safer. Copyright: Reproduced with permission of the copyright holder.
