Leadership plays a critical role in fostering a culture of safety. Leaders should:
1. Model Safe Practices: Demonstrate adherence to safety protocols in daily operations. 2. Provide Training: Regular training sessions on patient safety, infection control, and emergency procedures. 3. Encourage Reporting: Create a non-punitive system for reporting errors or near-misses to learn and improve. 4. Allocate Resources: Ensure that the necessary resources, such as staffing and equipment, are available to maintain a safe environment.
