This is a Patient Safety theme, which had as object the initiatives on patient safety established by international security organizations. This study aimed to analyze such initiatives. For this study, the major security organizations were identified through a bibliographic review of the literature based on electronic primaries sources, considering the pioneering organizations in addressing the Patient Safety topic that promote patient safety as a priority and that widely reported this issue from 2002 to 2012. In Google platform, references to more than 100 worldwide institutions were found that address this topic. However, only seven references met all the selection criteria with a predominance of U.S.A. organizations (six). The oldest organization is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (1946), and the most recent is the World Alliance for Patient Safety (2004). Regarding the legal nature, two organizations are governmental (Center for Disease Control and Prevention - CDC and Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality-AHRQ), four organizations are non-governmental (The Joint Commission, Institute for Healthcare Improvement-IHI, World Health Organization Alliance-WHO, and Institute for Safe Medication Practices-ISMP), and one independent organization (National Coordinating Council for medication error reporting and prevention-NCCMERP). In the hospital context, 103 initiatives for patient safety were detected. The organization that had published more initiatives for patient safety in hospital context was the ISMP with 20 initiatives, totaling 19% of the explored initiatives. Initiatives related to drug therapy, hand hygiene, infection control, and safe surgeries were the most addressed. It was concluded that, when paying attention to international initiatives of Patient Safety, the health professional can contextualize himself, improving his technical and scientific knowledge, and put into practice what the leading worldwide organizations focused on Patient Safety advocate for realization a safer healthcare.
