Abstract: Good healthcare administration helps to prevent medical mistakes, keeps patients safe, and raises the general quality of healthcare provided. Because they affect patients' outcomes, result in longer hospital stays, and increase healthcare expenses, medical errors are a major global issue. Strong management practices help healthcare institutions to reduce these errors, increase the accuracy of evaluations, enhance treatment plans, and foster a safe atmosphere. Investigating the relationship between better healthcare administration and less medical errors is the aim of this paper. Discussed are important subjects such leadership, communication, training, using technology in healthcare administration that could directly affect reducing mistake rates. Good leadership creates a secure atmosphere where medical experts feel comfortable to report mistakes without thinking about repercussions. This allows one to resolve problems and preserve ongoing environmental progress. Accurate delivery of important patient information to another healthcare provider relies on good communication. This lowers the chance of misunderstanding and false diagnosis. Advanced technologies including electronic health records (EHR), decision support systems (DSS), and artificial intelligence (AI) can help people make better decisions, lower the number of mistakes people make, and provide doctors real-time support in addition to ongoing education and training courses for healthcare personnel. Moreover encouraging openness and guaranteeing better treatment is a patient-centered approach in which individuals participate in choices about their treatment. This article emphasises the need of treating healthcare in such a manner that all of its components cooperate to improve patient care and reduce the error rates. For these reasons, daily application of effective healthcare management strategies is crucial to improve the healthcare system and ensure patient receive quality treatment.
