Community Medical Foundation for Patient Safety

The Community of Competence™ and Foundation for Life


We are a unique learning organization

Our vision, mission and purpose, and our approach to research and education in patient safety differ from other organizations.  We seek other experts in diverse research fields and industries to study the present healthcare system and find innovative ways to improve and optimize it.


By taking a systems approach, we are most interested in studying healthcare organizations, their cultures and environments, and our research team tries to understand why some organizations thrive while others fail.


Our philosophy is to learn and to share our knowledge.  As a learning organization, we are problem-solvers, scientists, educators, innovators and leaders who stand ready to work with others in building knowledge, expanding capacity and achieving productivity, healthcare quality, and patient safety.
