Your DoD Patient Safety Program (PSP) is a complete program with the goal of creating a culture of
patient safety and quality within the Military Health System (MHS). We encourage a systems approach to
creating a safer patient environment; engaging MHS leadership; promoting collaboration across all three
services; and fostering trust, transparency, teamwork, and communication.
Our Mission
Our Mission is to promote a culture of safety to end preventable patient harm by
engaging, educating and equipping patient-care teams to put evidenced-based leading practices in place across
the organization.
Our Vision
Our Vision is to support the military mission by building organizational commitment and
capacity to implement and sustain a culture of safety to protect the health of the patients in our care.
What We Offer
Leadership Engagement:
Leaders are the champions of change. We offer
solutions to engage, educate and equip the entire patient care team to be champions for patient safety and
institutionalize evidenced-based leading practices.
Teamwork and Awareness:
Sharing information is the key to ensuring all
DoD patient care teams have one vision for patient safety. We offer solutions that help teams continuously
learn and develop skills to reduce risk and provide high quality care to patients.
Alignment and Partnership:
To reach a systems approach to improving
patient safety, we partner and collaborate with leaders in patient safety that align with our mission
including the MHS Quadruple Aim, the High Reliability Organization (HRO) Task Force, the Partnership for
Patients and the National Quality Forum’s Safe Practices.
