A Review on the Safety Culture and Safety Programs in the Radiology Department: Focus on Pharmacy Interns and Nurses in Hospitals in Saudi Arabia

Abstract

Worldwide, and in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, working institutions have opened the discussion about safety culture and safety programs as a must-focus of interest. Under the patient, the phrase 'patient safety' refers to the absence of preventable harm. The large number of patients or people (staff, students, visitors, volunteers, etc.) in any health care or service provider makes each one of these a potential victim, and the significant costs that would plunge the organization in case management have to be settled for such a case. In any hospital, and not only in Saudi Arabia, the radiology department could be considered an important part of the organization. This is due to the mission of this department being centered on patient safety by using ionizing radiation to penetrate the living cell.
