“Segurança do Paciente é um arcabouço de atividades organizadas que cria culturas, processos, procedimentos, comportamentos, tecnologias e ambientes no cuidado de saúde, e que de forma coerente e sustentável, reduzem riscos, reduzem a ocorrência de dano evitável, tornam o erro menos provável e reduzem seu impacto quando ele ocorre”.”

“The illusion of free will is so strong in my mind that I can't get away from it, but I believe it is only an illusion. But it is an illusion which is one of the strongest motives of my actions.

― W. Somerset Maugham, Of Human Bondage
