WHY CONDUCT THE SURVEY?
The Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture is an invaluable diagnostic tool that allows you to look beyond the physical impression of your facility’s culture. AHRQ’s (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality) in-depth study of question formatting, wording and categorizing has resulted in a highly reliable resource that can provide a detailed analysis of your patient safety culture. The results will provide supporting evidence of positive cultural improvements and locate areas of cultural weaknesses.
The Center for Patient Safety fully supports this diagnostic mechanism, and now we offer a plan for you to conduct the survey at your facility with minimal strain on your already limited resources.
HOW TO CONDUCT THE SURVEY
We provide you with the capability to conduct the AHRQ Hospital Survey on Patient Safety for your entire hospital, or just for individual units/departments. The survey is provided in an online format, allowing your staff to take the survey in an anonymous, convenient, online environment. No more paper, no more data entry, no more hand tabulations!
At the conclusion of the survey period, comprehensive reports will show your areas of improvement or decline, compare your results to national benchmarks, and give you suggestions for next steps and action plans. Simple.
OBJECTIVE
