Abstract: Hospitals and public health care center are fraught with hazards, which may threaten patient safety. Thus, patient safety movement in the hospital and public health center are critical to be performed as a promotion to enhance the awareness of patient safety as well as a prevention of the incident of patient safety. The program which was conducted in 2012 aimed to improve visitors' behavior in safety in the Fatmawati General Hospital and Beji Primary Health Center that eventually may increase the degree of community health quality. This program consisted of reassessment (Focus Group Discussion), observation, giving questionnaire to workers and visitors in the hospital and public health care), planning, implementation (providing education and warning media, books titled "Safe in Hospital and Public Health Center", physical facilities, and socializing patient safety movement in the hospital and public health center), and evaluation. This activity reached an agreement on the action plan to continue the patient safety movement in their institutions. This activity could be a model for other hospitals and public health care centers, which have not yet implemented patient safety program.

Keywords: hazard, hospital, nurses, patient safety, public health center.
