Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture

The Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality (AHRQ) is the lead Fed. agency charged with conducting & supporting research to improve patient safety & health care quality for all Americans. AHRQ's goal is to support a culture of safety & quality improvement in the Nation's healthcare system that will help speed the adoption of research findings into practice & policy. To that end, AHRQ has sponsored the development of this survey on patient safety culture. This tool is useful for assessing the safety culture of a hospital as a whole, or for specific units within hospitals. Moreover, the survey can be used to track changes in patient safety over time & to evaluate the impact of patient safety interventions.
