Summary
This Reprint brings together multidisciplinary evidence on patient safety in critical care and other high-risk healthcare environments. The included studies address early recognition of clinical deterioration, early mobilization, delirium assessment, nurse-performed focused ultrasound, workforce resilience and job performance, workplace violence, psychological experiences of critical illness, psychosocial support, and treatment-related risks. Together, the contributions demonstrate that safer care depends on the integration of evidence-based clinical practices, competent and supported healthcare professionals, reliable organizational systems, and attention to patients' physical and psychological experiences. The Reprint is intended for clinicians, nurses, allied health professionals, researchers, educators, healthcare leaders, and policy makers seeking practical and research-informed approaches to strengthen safety and quality across acute and critical care.
