“I highly recommend Safe & Sound PFE™ to any organization dedicated to patient-centered care.”
With 100% nursing support, we adopted the Safe & Sound PFE program — the solution we’ve been looking for! The checklists are simple, clear, and friendly — truly engaging.
Safe & Sound has also inspired other QI activities at UTMB, which we’re excited about.
