Patient safety in ambulatory care is emerging as an area of focus for safety improvement. This review discusses the importance of using near misses as a learning opportunity in outpatient care. The authors describe the design of a near miss registry to collect information on factors that contribute to errors as a way to enable learning and improvement.
