Improving Healthcare Workforce and Patient Safety: A Scoping Meta-Review

The authors aimed to identify practices that improve both healthcare worker (HCW) safety and patient safety by conducting a scoping meta-review of systematic reviews published between 2011 and 2020. They found that a variety of practices, particularly those related to work organization and teamwork, show promise in benefiting both HCWs and patients. The study highlights the need for collaboration between occupational health and patient safety leaders to implement these integrated safety practices.
