Abebe E, Bao A, Kokkinias P, et al. Maximizing student potential: lessons for pharmacy programs from the patient safety movement. Explor Res Clin Soc Pharm. 2023;9:100216. doi:10.1016/j.rcsop.2022.100216.
The patient safety movement recognizes that most errors occur at the system level, not the individual level, and therefore uses a systems approach toward improving patient safety.

This article describes the sociotechnical framework of healthcare (structures, processes, outcomes) and parallels with pharmacy programs.
