Introduction Patient safety has become a major concern in the healthcare industry due to the prevalence of medical errors. Patient safety has even established itself as an ideal discipline and includes some areas of healthcare delivery such as reporting, analysis and prevention of medical errors (due to the increase in medical errors worldwide). Initially, medical errors were not considered a big problem in medical circles until there was an increase in the trend of medical errors around the world, which resulted in adverse medical events and a high number of patient deaths. This trend prompted the World Health Organization (WHO) to carry out an assessment of the impact of medical errors globally and established that at least 1 in 10 patients worldwide are typically affected by medical errors (World Health Organization 2008). In recent years, in fact, the world has been shocked by medical documentaries that have highlighted the prevalence of medical error and its ability to cause adverse medical events. For example, in April 1982, America saw a very shocking documentary called Deep Sleep that showed the number and type of medical errors that occurred following anesthesia-related accidents that were estimated to affect approximately 6,000 American patients who they later suffered brain damage or other adverse medical events (Ellison 2011). The same concern was also registered in Great Britain and Australia, where patient safety was placed at the center of attention by the Royal Society of Medicine, the Harvard Medical School (in Great Britain) and the Australia Patient Safety Foundation (in Australia) (Ellison 2011). In Australia, an estimated 18,000 medical deaths are the result of a colleague's... middle of paper... medical issues. This provision is often not respected. There is adequate research, highlighted by a number of medical studies, which suggests that doctors' professional values ​​are normally influenced by external factors. This fact supports several growing literatures advocating for a change in the external medical environment to reduce instances of medical errors. BMJ Publishing Group Ltd states that “We believe that as well as promoting high standards of behavior within their own professional societies, it is important that doctors support health system reforms that facilitate high standards of behaviour” (BMJ Publishing Group Ltd 2011, 19) . However, the call to reform the healthcare sector is considered an internal affair as many doctors around the world are pressured to improve existing healthcare systems to reduce the chances of medical errors..
