Safety PerformerSM: Strong Safety Culture Saves Lives
The Institute of Medicine estimates that medical errors cause approximately 1 million injuries and may lead to as many as 100,000 deaths in the U.S. every year. According to The Joint Commission, more than 65% of all sentinel events are caused by communication breakdown. To make a sustainable impact and to save lives, hospitals must establish a safety culture within their organization and it begins with strong communication.
Press Ganey’s Safety Performer solution approaches patient safety improvement by focusing on the full spectrum of working conditions. It encompasses not only the individual, but also the team, task, workplace and organization to build defenses that will avert error.
The Safety Performer solution assesses the safety culture of the hospital and the units within the hospital through direct feedback from employees and physicians.
- Data is provided at the system, hospital, unit, work area and staff position levels.
- Benchmarking and comparisons can be made within the hospital and within the system.
- Indices and priorities help clients focus improvement efforts on their greatest opportunities.
