Description
Birgit Hladschik-Kermer and co-authors map world research on how health workers are trained, how errors in care occur, and how patients are kept safe. The count is large, and a world plan for patient safety has raised the need for a clear view of the field.
Using two big databases, the team tracked papers from 2000 onward and found more than seventeen thousand that fit. They chart who publishes most, which journals and centers lead, and how key words cluster into themes. The goal is to show how the field has grown and where its main topics now sit.
