Healthcare has advanced significantly in the digital age as a result of technology's integration, which has transformed both patient care and operational procedures. To maintain patient safety in the digital age, there are obstacles that must be overcome in addition to these advantages. In the context of healthcare technology, this manuscript examines patient safety-related issues and potential solutions. The challenges identified include data security and privacy, interoperability and integration, usability and user experience, workflow integration, clinical decision support systems and so on. Strong cybersecurity measures are necessary because data breaches and cyber threats put patient safety at risk. Potential medical errors may result from the seamless exchange of patient information being hampered by non-interoperable health IT systems. Usability problems can jeopardize patient safety due to poorly designed interfaces and intricate workflows. Furthermore, inaccurate diagnosis and treatment plans may arise from deficiencies or inaccuracies in clinical decision support systems. Multiple suggestions are given to improve patient safety in order to address these issues. These remedies include putting in place strong cybersecurity safeguards, following interoperability guidelines, embracing user-centered design concepts, and consistently enhancing clinical decision support systems. Healthcare organizations can effectively reduce risks and enhance patient safety in the digital age by emphasizing data security, encouraging standardized protocols, concentrating on user experience, and improving clinical decision support systems and many more. Healthcare systems may take advantage of technology's transformative potential while preserving patient well-being by addressing the issues raised and putting the suggested solutions into practice.
