How to improve patient safety in fragile, conflict-affected and vulnerable settings: a Delphi study protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

There is a high burden of adverse events and poor outcomes in fragile, conflict-affected and vulnerable (FCV) settings. To improve outcomes, there is a need to better identify which interventions can improve patient safety in these settings, as well as to develop strategies to optimise their implementation.

Objective
