Scrum might work in your situation. But you have given us a very broad category..."patient safety". That covers a lot of different medical specialties and many patients. I know of places where Scrum practices have been introduced into medical process. Personally, I worked with my wife to introduce some practices into a Medical Laboratory at at hospital where she worked.
I did a simple web search using my favorite search engine for the phrase "scrum for patient safety". There were many results that briefly discussed it and a couple of links to case studies. What I found is that many of the links did not take a general approach but focused on specific areas of patient safety/care to improve. You might want to start with that approach so that you can familiarize yourself with the landscape.

I also suggest that you read the Scrum Guide (https://scrumguides.org/) and familiarize yourself with the Scrum framework. The framework works in areas where there are complex problems to solve in order to incrementally improve a Product. You will need to be able to accurately define the Product and describe the needed improvements.
Some of the agile practices from the various frameworks and methodologies might be useful to apply and create your own kind of "agility" but again, I feel like that would apply to the specific problems that you are attempting to solve.
thanks a lot for your reply I totally agree with you that scrum is framework and agile is the mind set
I tried to search with different approach such as psychological culture , medical error and human factor engineering but Unfortunately did not find much
I appreciate if you can share any aspect of patient safety , based on health sector which characterized by high complex adaptive system and lack of team and communication are common cause of sentinel events
thanks again
