The Department of Pre-Crime by Vlahos (2012), defined the concept of pre-crime as predicting the types of risks at certain time not by individuals’ behaviors. Using this concept in the health care, we always need to predict the hospitals, healthcare professionals, and patients’ risks to avoid negative outcomes. To identify the risk we want to know what kind is the problem, where was happened, and when, would help to predict the future events. Investigate about the history, statistics, and data analysis to gain an insight of what happen in the past and assume it would happen again in the future. Evaluating those factors to might influence the risks. For example, most of the time patients after surgery have high risk to get infections, giving antibiotics is a way to avoid further complications. Another example of using the concept is, in recent years more diseases are found and elderly patient are increased in our population that lead to increase in the hospital services and more workload. Higher demand for care with nursing shortage result in nurses burnout and dissatisfied cause them to leave their work and that put patients on risk of poor quality of care; moreover, increase in the hospital costs because of nurses turnover is high and many medical errors occur. In short, identifying the problem before it happened is an important step to decrease the sequences of the risk that lead to bigger problems. Making a yearly, monthly, or even daily charts and have an idea of what happening outside the hospitals would give you an over view of the gap in the hospital or care about the occurrence of time, type, and the place of the problem.
