- Abstract
The publication of the report "To err is human: building a safer system" by the Institute of Medicine incited a profuse research addressing improvements in healthcare safety. However, there is still little acknowledgement of the key role of the patient in preventing adverse events of medical care. The aim of this review is to analyse and compare studies about patient's perception and opinion about care safety in hospitals.
