    Action Areas 4-Taxonomy - International Patient Safety Classification

    Aims to define, harmonize and group patient safety concepts into an internationally

    standardized classification.

    Easier to capture and analyse factors relevant to patient safety, for learning and system

    improvement.

    Taxonomy has been used in patient safety research, in the training of Root Cause Analysis and in
