This study aimed to analyze health promotion and patient safety strategies in the surgical center, focusing on improving the quality of care. An integrative review was conducted, identifying 12 articles on protocols, organizational culture, continuing education, and technological innovation. The findings indicated that surgical checklists, effective leadership, and traceability systems are essential to reduce adverse events and enhance safety. However, challenges remain, including limited resources, underreporting of incidents, and communication difficulties among multiprofessional teams. It is concluded that the development of integrated strategies, combined with institutional commitment and professional engagement, is fundamental to consolidating safe and qualified practices in the surgical environment, ensuring patient-centered care and sustainable outcomes.
