Abstract
In the country, thousands of patients die each year due to medical errors and improper treatment. This problem can be attributed primarily to human factor, medication error, and system failure. These problems require an urgent solution to be done. National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Healthcare Providers (NABH) serves as a benchmark in this regard for improving patient safety and health quality care in the international community. It offers education, publication, advisory services and international accreditation and certification. This chapter demonstrates perceptions of 300 doctors, nurses, and paramedical staff regarding patient safety climate in the accredited and non-accredited hospitals with the help of a cross-sectional survey in Delhi NCT, India. The results revealed that senior leadership, resources for safety, facility characteristics, workgroup norms, learning, psychological safety, and problem responsiveness were responded highly positively in accredited hospitals.
