This discussion post focuses on patient safety standards, addressing the assignment brief for a capstone project in healthcare administration. It begins by outlining the general and specific problem statements, purpose, and research questions related to patient safety, drug and device standards, and healthcare organization performance. The post then presents a literature review, identifying relevant facts, research gaps, and conflicting assertions. Finally, it brainstorms three potential solutions to address the research problem, supported by scholarly evidence and explaining how these recommendations could improve patient safety and healthcare outcomes. The assignment is a response to a discussion prompt requiring analysis of research findings and formulation of solutions based on the literature review.
