Safe Healthcare Environment Advisory Program

Is your physical environment putting your overall safety credentials at risk?

The Safe Healthcare Environment Advisory Program (SHEAP) is a joint program developed and delivered exclusively by ACHS International (ACHSI) and the Joint Commission of Taiwan (JCT). 

The purpose of the SHEAP is to provide international healthcare organisations with the guidance, insights, and expertise to review and improve the environment and infrastructure in which staff work and care is provided to patients and the community. 

The SHEAP focuses on specific aspects of the physical environment of the healthcare facility to ensure ongoing safety. The program is organised into modules to give healthcare organisations the flexibility to focus on environmental areas of greatest risk in more depth using the expertise of an international team of consultants.

The SHEAP is not an accreditation program nor does it grant any quality program certification. Instead, the program is meant to support collaboration and consultation between healthcare organisations with two of the world’s leading patient safety organisations.
