Page 4 - MALAYSIAN PATIENT SAFETY GOALS

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the Nursing Division on
the successful publication of the first edition of “Malaysian Patient Safety

Goals - Nurses Roles and Responsibilities “ to guide nurses in their practice,
to prevent error and reduce risk of adverse events. The Nursing Division,

has a vital role in ensuring the competence of all the nurses in the country
and addressing patient safety issues in the clinical area. With increasing
diversity and the move to meet the increasing challenges in the healthcare

arena, this publication will serve as an excellent resource to promote
patient safety and excellence in nursing practice. The Nursing Division is
also entrusted to lead national effort in creating a positive image in the

nursing profession.

Patient safety is everybody’s business. Let us work together with the spirit

of teamwork, caring and professionalism to improve our nursing care
system.
