  abstract = {The aim of the article is to present the essence of patient safety and the role, goals, benefits and areas of application of eHealth in the process of patient safety management. The development of information and communication technologies creates opportunities to support innovation in the health services sector in the field of e-health services and tools. However, the implementation of digital technologies in the field of health has a significant impact on patient safety. Therefore, the question of the possibility of using e-health services and tools in supporting patient safety management becomes a key issue. The article is conceptual in nature and was developed using research methods such as: review and in-depth analysis of literature and documents on health policy, reports and legal acts. eHealth services and tools can be used in a variety of activities in the patient safety management process, but require consistent, complex interaction at all levels of the healthcare system, as well as cross-sectoral and international cooperation. This applies to both cooperation in the field of technology and the legal framework for using the potential of e-health. Particularly important in the implementation of digital technologies is ensuring data security and active participation of patients and medical staff in developing health awareness, their involvement in communication and educational processes.},
