Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) National Center for Patient Safety
The National Center for Patient Safety (NCPS) embodies the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) uncompromising commitment to reducing and preventing adverse medical events and close calls while enhancing the care given to patients. The NCPS represents a unified and cohesive patient safety program, with active participation by all of the 163 VA facilities supported by dedicated patient safety managers. The program focuses on prevention not punishment, applying human factor analysis, and the safety research of high reliability organizations (e.g., aviation and nuclear power) targeted at identifying and eliminating system vulnerabilities in order to prevent harm to patients.
