Summary
Safety and quality of care for psychiatric patients is a relatively understudied area of patient safety research. This scoping review explores patient safety strategies used in psychiatry. The review identified seven key strategies that rely on staff performance, competence, and compliance: 1) risk management, (2) healthcare practitioners, (3) patient observation, (4) patient involvement, (5) computerised methods, (6) admission and discharge, and (7) security. These strategies primarily target reductions in suicide, self-harm, violence and falls.
