Patient safety comprises evidence, ideas and practices from a multitude of disciplines outside of the health sciences (e.g., engineering, aerospace industry, business, cognitive science, systems thinking) that all work together to enhance safety for patients. UC Davis Library offers some key resources to support the work of students, researchers, and clinicians working in the patient safety space.
