Introduction:
·         The modern health care delivery has become an intense, hyper complex, tightly interlinked and coupled activity, wherein the clinician providing the care needs continuous updates on the patients’ condition, and is forced to work under compressed time constraints and with a high degree of accountability.
·         On the one hand, the clinician is daily bombarded by
o   Ever increasing information on the diseases, laboratory tests, imaging studies, complex invasive procedures, biomedical equipment, new drugs and information technology.
·         One the other hand,
o   Every day, is marred by the number of patient safety incidents reported.
o   Many lives are lost, violence against the clinicians follows, many are damaged beyond repair, enormous waste of resources occurs and the clinician is unwillingly forced to become a “second victim”.
·         Occurrence of patient safety incidents erodes the trust between the clinicians and the patients and their relatives, leading to acrimonious litigations, astronomical compensation grants, unwarranted media attention, loss of business continuity and reputation.
·         The science of patient safety is  a young branch of medicine and does not find a place in the medical, nursing or technical curriculum. The clinicians are left, on their own, to seek and acquire this knowledge.
