At the [Center for Patient Safety (CPS)](https://www.centerforpatientsafety.org/), 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
