Quantros, Inc., a leading provider of web-based healthcare applications and services for safety and risk management, quality, performance improvement and accreditation and compliance today announced the release of a new program, Establishing a Culture of Safety: A Collaborative Approach for Labor and Delivery Units.

Throughout the healthcare provider industry communication and teamwork have proven critical to patient safety in high-risk care areas. In the Sentinel Event Alert Issue 30 the Joint Commission concluded that the majority of perinatal death and injury cases are related to problems with organizational culture and with communication among caregivers. The Joint Commission recommends that hospitals conduct team training in perinatal areas to teach staff to work together and communicate more effectively.
