Medical errors cause harm to the patient and to the healthcare provider

Many of these errors can be avoided if appropriate systems are introduced to reduce risk

VETbytes provides Alerts throughout the site to prevent avoidable harms

These harm alerts guide veterinary teams in recognising and addressing high-risk areas in patient care, ensuring that preventive measures are in place

By integrating harm alerts into daily practice, VETbytes aids in reducing errors, enhancing patient safety and promoting a proactive approach to risk management
