Introduction
In 1990’s there is concern generated that even equipped with modern medication for cure, reducing illness, hospitals still not a place which can be considered as safe place for patient healing, instead there is chances to infected disease from other patients. Health care staff and patients always remain in high risk environment. Due to these emerging concerns there is revolution in health care system. Patient safety is now top most concern for most of the countries which requires global awareness and World Health Organization enhancing (WHO) awareness about patient safety. There should be well defined standard operating protocol placed in every health care system which helps in eliminating potential risk factors and e
ors because if there is any mishap ours in healthcare it can be turning into life threatening mistake.
Patient safety
Nurse’s plays key role in healthcare sector to improve and maintains safety aspects of patients. Firstly a clear picture should draw about what is patient safety. Patient safety basically defines as quality control and continuous approach towards preventing patients from any kind of harm or suffering. For safety concern to identify risk factors on every aspects and eliminates them gradually. Hall, Johnson, Watt, Tsipa & O’Connor (2016). Nursing involves critical job like taking responsibility of safety of patients, avoiding patient’s falls and providing co
ect medication. Ammouri, Tailakh, Muliira, Geethakrishnan & Al Kindi (2015) For proper patient care nursing staff should be well trained and strengthen so, every patient have access for good care. Nursing is critical aspect as they required behaving in multistep manner.
    A study shows that there is low mortality cases found where better nurses and physicians work which ultimately leads to proper diagnosis, treatment and efficient care of patients. Carayon et al. (2014). Nurses needs to fill the gap between patients and doctors through which patients can freely express there requirement in front of them along with it doctors can instruct nurses for proper patient care and medication routine and diet which in benefit for patient health. For continuous improvement of system some key points need to follow:

· Build positive work environment for health care staff, patients and organization.
· Try to build accidents proof and injuries preventive environment for patients. Need active surveillance and identifies potential hazard.
· Finding the root cause analyses for failure in system and make sure same incident not going to repeat in future.
· Follow standard operating protocol to avoid susceptible events
· Lack of communication between different levels of team staff can create chaos in system.
· Every system need a good leadership if it missing then smooth working of system definitely going to suffer.
The case study mentioned where wrong person pick up for x-rays. For such cases firstly, these kind of e
or should not occur in first step if they following standard operating protocol. Nurses or any other health care staff should carefully read instructions in every patient card. When a patient is asked for such call like x- ray or any other diagnosis make sure right patient is going by double cross check the name and patient ID. After proper identification of individual and proceed for test. Again staff present in x-ray section room required to again cross check for patient full name and then continue with test.

    Sterility of sterilize materials compromised if not do not keep in well manner. Maintenance of sterility effected due to some elements like handling, storage, environmental condition and distribution.
