Top seven barriers to implementing patient safety system

• Competing priorities for scarce resources in a system where patient safety is not considered a top priority.
• Lack of resources: inadequate staffing and work overloads.
• Availability and cost of patient safety technology.
• Resistance to change (the assumption that providers are already providing safe care).
• Culture of blame (current healthcare culture is punitive in nature).
• Lack of senior leadership understanding of and involvement with patient safety issues.
• Culture of healthcare workforce perceptions, attitudes and behaviors of error “cover up”.
