Abstract
A safety culture encourages the reporting of mistakes so that all can learn from them and remedy underlying system problems. However, errors will only be reported in a culture in which most types of common human errors are not punished because all humans make errors, and usually there are underlying system problems contributing to this. All healthcare errors must be viewed partly as opportunities to improve. A safety culture includes good leadership, communication, learning, collaboration, mindfulness, medicine that is based on evidence and best practice, and care that is centered on the patient.
