Safety Management Systems - an Introduction for Healthcare.

November 29, 2023

Dorset, UK: Health Services Safety Investigations Body; October 2023.

Safety management systems (SMS) are employed in many high-risk industries, yet are not fully adopted in health care. This investigation report discusses the core safety elements of an SMS (policy, risk management, assurance, and promotion), how they are defined in a wide range of industries, and how they might be systemically embedded in the care environment to support safety culture, accountability, and maturity.
