Pharmacy & Medication Safety
Medication-use safety, pharmacy workforce competence, certification and continuing education.
Healthcare, Science & Technology
Healthcare & Clinical Services
Clinical education, workforce competency and medication-safety systems across care settings.
Sector overview
Hospitals, health systems, clinics and allied health organizations run education, competency and safety systems that patients and regulators depend on. CHSPS does not accredit a hospital or health system as a whole; it reviews defined systems inside it — how clinical staff are educated and supervised, how competence is verified before independent practice, and how medication-use risk is controlled.

How applicability is assessed
- Describe what you operate. The program, credential, education offering or system — not just your sector.
- CHSPS confirms pathway and scope in writing. The free eligibility review records exactly what would be reviewed and what is excluded.
- Only an independent decision creates accreditation. Listing here, inquiry, payment or evidence submission does not.
Questions about this sector
Can CHSPS accredit our hospital?
No. CHSPS accredits defined systems within an organization — for example a workforce competency system (WCA), a clinical education system (CEQ) or a medication safety system (MSS) — and records exactly what was reviewed. It does not accredit a hospital or health system as a whole.
Does CHSPS certify individual clinicians?
No. CHSPS accredits programs and systems. It does not certify, license or credential individual practitioners.
