About Quality plus Solutions LLC (QPS)

The challenges faced by healthcare organizations throughout the United States in the provision of safety for behavioral health patients and staff are well known. We cannot under-emphasize the shrinking of state resources and national bed availability. Additionally, caring for behavioral health patients can be challenging due to the lack of available community resources for aftercare services. Emergency departments are viewed as the primary care setting for patients suffering from an acute mental health crisis and acute and long term settings are treating this population at an enormous rate. Often, non-behavioral health treatment settings are insufficiently designed and lack of competent staff to provide for the standard of care for this population - which exposes the organization to a variety of risks and liabilities should an adverse event occur. 

Quality Plus Solutions LLC (QPS) is a healthcare risk consulting firm that assists organizations in ensuring that they are following both regulatory and accreditation standards in the care of patients with behavioral health needs. Our Consultants are highly credentialed, experienced, and innovative in their approach to quality and risk assessment and management.

“A very worthwhile pro-active risk management investment. Monica’s knowledge was impressive for all involved…she left the participants feeling good about an outsider pointing out their unit’s (therefore their) deficiencies. Her recommendations went hand-in-hand with everyday reality. Nothing was pie in the sky. This was a very valuable, thorough, and credible assessment of our deficiencies and ideas/resources to help us remedy those deficiencies”. Confidential Client

“Extremely valuable risk assessment. Ms. Cooke was a competent expert who shared her expertise in behavioral health risk that will assist us in improving patient safety and decreasing our risks”. Confidential Client
