Abstract
Patient safety is a critical concern in healthcare worldwide, with preventable medical errors leading to significant morbidity and mortality. This paper delves into the integral roles of nursing, radiology, and healthcare administration in safeguarding patients within healthcare systems. Nurses serve as frontline advocates, radiology staff contribute to preventing diagnostic errors, and healthcare administrators oversee safety culture and policies. By fostering open communication, implementing safety initiatives, and prioritizing continuous learning, these stakeholders collectively strive to achieve zero harm in healthcare.
