Every organization is in a different place on its journey to safer care and higher reliability. Choose the best starting place for you, or let our experts help find the most appropriate path.

ImproveCulture

The change journey begins with culture

The journey to high reliability begins with an organization's fundamental infrastructure: the culture, which is driven by leadership. Leaders must put an enhanced focus on patient safety culture through vision and financial support. A strong safety culture is ideal for organizations desiring to become a learning environment.

A safety culture assessment is useful for identifying organizational conditions that can lead to adverse events and patient harm. Additionally, assessments can successfully identify the greatest cultural assets of an organization.

CPS's assessment solution is scalable and flexible to handle every organization, no matter type or size, and provides unparalleled administration and follow-up experience for its culture surveys.

Make just culture a reality

Just Culture provides a framework and a vocabulary to support improvement efforts that accurately address both the systemic and individual issues within an organization. 

CPS believes that just, or accountable, culture work is one of the best ways to provide the support staff need to feel comfortable and confident to report issues and create change. 

With CPS, you'll receive expert trainers and consultants who will develop a custom program for your organization.

Protect safety and quality improvement work

As your culture continues to improve and your organization becomes more focused on accountability and learning opportunities, it's time to protect your quality and patient safety work with a Patient Safety Organization (PSO). PSO federal protections are intentionally different from most regulatory and mandatory reporting programs and define the framework for shared learning with other organizations and organization types. 

CPS's PSO program is scalable to fit your organization’s unique needs. Our expert team members will guide you through every step.   

Create a healing environment for clinicians

While we often focus on the impact on the patient and patient's family following an adverse event, the care of our clinicians following an event is equally important. The emotional aftershock (or stress reaction) following an intense or unexpected event can be difficult. Clinician support programs are designed to help clinicians cope with daily challenges.

CPS's clinician support programs provide options for creating a custom program at your organization.
