Background: Despite the intentions in many private hospitals to improve patient safety and quality of care, there is a lack of effort to understand nurses’ /Physicians perceptions of patient safety culture. Hospitals with a positive safety culture would be characterized by open communication among their medical staff, magnifying the importance of patient safety, continuous training for patient safety practice, and encouragement to freely report medical errors. Safety has to do with the lack of harm. Quality has to do with efficient, effective, purposeful care that gets the job done at the right time. Meester et al. (2013).
