Abstract
Health is all about people, and health systems are characterised by encounters between people who require services and those who have been educated and skilled in the provision of care services (Frenk et al., 2010). Health systems are fragmented and complex, and in crisis with shortages, skillmix imbalance and maldistribution (World Health Organization, 2016); so health systems struggle to provide safe care.
Despite attempts to address the human and systems factors that lead to unsafe healthcare, it is estimated that in developed countries, over 17 million adverse events occur each year (Jha et al., 2013) and in the USA healthcare errors are ranked as the third leading cause of death. Notwithstanding national improvements in Australian healthcare quality and safety, contemporary reports suggest that one in nine hospitalised Australian patients suffer a complication which equates to approximately 900,000pa (Duckett & Jorm, 2018), with ratio estimates rising to one complication in every four admissions for overnight admissions (Australian Commission of Safety and Quality in Health Care, 2017). Many of these complications are avoidable and can lead to permanent disability and death (Duckett & Jorm, 2018).
