AB Fundamental  to  improving  patient  safety  is  the  ability  to  design  systems  of  care  that  reliably  deliver  evidence-based  interventions  and  reduce  preventable  harm.Translating  evidence  effectively  into  practice  involves  four  key  processes:Summarizing  the  evidenceIdentifying  local  barriers  to  complianceMeasuring  performanceEnsuring  that  all  patients  receive  the  therapyA  culture  of  teamwork  is  vital  to  improving  the  quality  and  safety  of  care  provided  to  patients.Significant  investment  in  a  patient  safety  infrastructure  is  required  to  fulfill  a  commitment  to  safe  and  high-quality  care.Chosen  quality  measures  should  be  clinically  important,  scientifically  sound  (valid  and  reliable),  useful,  and  feasible.An  ICU  quality  and  safety  scorecard  can  be  developed  locally  to  demonstrate  a  broad  overview  of  patient  safety  performance  over  time,  or  relative  to  a  benchmark.
