To make the present review, available databases were used at INFOMED, (EBSCO, PUBMED and HINARI) using "patient safety" as descriptor. Abundant up-dated bibliography in the INFOMED databases exists, which shows international tendency to the use of typical tools of the complexity approach such as the increment of the connections among elements of the system, improvement in the technologies of the information and communication that facilitate the interconnection among these elements. The present review is carried out with publishing purposes and as basis for an investigation project that will undertake between the Medicine and Complexity Center and the University Hospital Manuel Ascunce Domenech.

Keywords : patient's safety; complexity approach; complex systems.
