It’s Time to Begin Your Journey to Improving Patient Safety and Quality in Healthcare. Are You Ready?

January 3, 2017 | By: Jennifer Lux

At the Center for Patient Safety (CPS), we feel strongly about culture being an integral part in the journey to improving patient safety and quality in healthcare. Improvements are not immediately achievable, but it’s never too late to begin the journey!

CPS encourages the use of survey assessments as a diagnostic tool to support and guide your patient safety culture improvement efforts. CPS can efficiently administer your culture survey, saving you valuable time and money.

CPS administers custom patient safety culture surveys for:

Health Systems
Home Health and Hospice – CPS will administer CPS’ home care culture survey
Hospitals – CPS will administer the AHRQ hospital culture survey
Medical Offices – CPS will administer the AHRQ medical office culture survey
Pharmacies – CPS will administer the AHRQ pharmacy culture survey
Nursing Homes – CPS will administer the AHRQ nursing home culture survey
Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASC) – CPS will administer the AHRQ ASC culture survey
