The Certified Professional in Patient Safety (CPPS) examination is the only evidence-based, multidisciplinary examination developed to assess competency in patient safety
The CPPS examination defines patient safety and patient safety practice, establishing the foundation necessary for practice as well as research. The practitioner who successfully passes the CPPS examination demonstrates competency in knowledge, analysis, and application of patient safety concepts.
The CPPS credential establishes patient safety competency standards and elevates the professional stature of health care professionals who meet knowledge requirements in safety science, human factors engineering, and the practice of safe care. Certification requires a combination of education and experience, as well as successful completion of the evidence-based certification exam.
Why CPPS?
With increased medical error problem in healthcare industry (up to 98000 people die each year as a result of preventable medical errors as per U.S. Institute of Medicine (IOM) report) there is a bad need now for certified patient safety officers specially her in Saudi Arabia where the MOH had identified the patient safety as a separate identity in the new organizational structure for healthcare organizations.
The CPPS certification examination is needed for three reasons:
To define patient safety science.
To advance expert patient safety practice.
To measure favorable practitioner and patient outcomes.
