Keywords including patient safety, quality assessment, standards, patient safety friendly hospital, Iran were performed. These articles were evaluated independently by two researchers and the contradictions were discussed with the third author. Results: Finally, 7 eligible studies were included in the study. The highest score (75%) was related to the fourth domain of safe environment and the lowest score with (47%) was related to the second domain of engaging and interacting with the patient and the community.
