Our study concluded that SMT providers do not share a common outlook concerning patient safety. The perspectives chiropractors and physical therapists have about patient safety are influenced by their professional background, clinical experience and environment, and patient factors. Current practice settings may often limit the time and resources practitioners have at their disposal to engage proactively in patient safety initiatives.
