About Salus Quality and Safety Consultants

Salus is passionate about making improvements in patient safety, which is foundational to reduce risks to patients, health systems, and clinical care team members, and improving the well-being of the members of the clinical team. Salus partners with health care organizations and malpractice carriers to collaborate with healthcare organizational leadership and front-line team members to improve patient safety and the patient safety culture. Salus systematically reduces risk, and helps healthcare systems and units move towards high reliability. Salus also addresses well-being of the clinical care team and disruptive team member behavior. We evaluate factors that may be adversely impacting individuals and preventing them from doing their best. Salus acquires and integrates data by combining a variety of approaches. These include group and individual interviews, medical records examination, policy inspection, and protocol review. Key to the Salus process is time spent in clinical environments, observing, troubleshooting, and learning from physicians, advanced practice providers, nurses, pharmacists, and other front-line staff members.. The outcomes are pragmatic and actionable recommendations that have direct positive impacts on patient care and staff well-being. This action demonstrates to team members a commitment to solving challenges, which improves engagement in patient safety efforts. A Salus engagement will have an immediate influence on patient safety practices and culture, including issues that service lines and organizations have been struggling with for years.
