Abstract
Patient safety has evolved and developed in the context of hospital care. The understanding we have of the epidemiology of error and harm, the causes and contributory factors and the potential solutions are almost entirely hospital based. Safety in home care is likely to require different concepts, approaches and solutions. Safety in this context has however been barely addressed and yet care provided in the home will soon become the most important context for healthcare delivery.
