At Salem Health, our commitment to patient safety depends on the insights of those at the forefront of care — you. As physicians, your experiences, observations and expertise are invaluable in identifying challenges and strengthening our high reliability culture.
The Patient Safety Survey aligns with the Joint Commission requirements. It is designed to assess the status of our Patient Safety Culture, examine trends and identify strengths and areas for safety culture improvement.
Our goal for provider participation is 60% and as of Monday, April 14, we stand at 15% provider participation.
For credentialed providers who are employed by Salem Health, we added a drop-down choice, “Independent Medical Staff 11111” under “What is your primary unit or work area?”
The independent firm that conducts the Patient Safety Survey sends a detailed report 30 to 45 days after it closes, with “next step” resources and tools. We will share the report with leaders, staff and providers.
Your participation strengthens our ability to provide safe, reliable, and high-quality care. Please take a few minutes to complete the Patient Safety Survey by April 30, click here.
