Patient safety is founded on continuous learning because there is an urgent need to report and learn from errors, accidents, near misses, and adverse events. The traditional approach to patient safety, based on forming mortality committees and investigating accidents, will no longer be effective.

Moreover, the results revealed that hospital and respondents' characteristics (Staff Position, Teaching Status and Geographic Region) had varying influence on patient safety culture, overall perception of patient safety and frequency of event reporting.
