    SUMMARY
    ARTICLE 1:
    Patient safety culture assessments allow health care organizations to
    obtain a clear view of patient safety aspects , requiring urgent attention ,

    ARTICLE : 4

    • Sixty two of the intervention group patients received a total


    of 74 suggestions . Among them 63 involved changes in
    antibiotic choice , dosing regimen , or route of
    administration .
    • This is the first randomized study to deter5mine whether
    antibiotic choices can be effected in a cost-effective fashion
    without sacrificing patient safety . 50% of patients initially
    treated with expensive parenteral antibiotics can have their
    authority refined after 3 days of therapy and these
    modifications result in good clinical outcomes with a
    substantial reduction in antibiotic expense.
    SUMMARY
    ARTICLE : 5

    • During the past decade , awareness and


    understanding of medical errors have
    expanded rapidly .efforts have focused on
