Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture: 2010 User Comparative Database Report


Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture
2010 User Comparative Database Report


-------------------
Based on data from 885 U.S. hospitals, the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture: 2010 User Comparative Database Report provides initial results that hospitals can use to compare their patient safety culture to other U.S. hospitals. In addition, the 2010 report presents results showing change over time for 321 hospitals that submitted data more than once. The report consists of a narrative description of the findings and four appendixes, presenting data by hospital characteristics and respondent characteristics for the database hospitals overall and separately for the 321 trending hospitals

------------------
The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) released the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture, a tool to help hospitals evaluate how well they had established a culture of safety in their institutions, in 2004. A database was also needed so hospitals and units in hospitals could determine how well they were doing in establishing a culture of safety in comparison to other similar hospitals or hospital units.

The Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture: 2010 User Comparative Database Report meets that need. Based on data provided voluntarily by 885 U.S. hospitals, the Report provides results that hospitals can use as one basis for comparison in their efforts to establish, improve, and maintain a culture of patient safety in their institutions.

The main report presents statistics (averages, standard deviations, minimum and maximum scores and percentiles) on the patient safety culture areas or composites assessed in the survey as well as the survey items.

Appendixes A and B present breakouts of the data by hospital characteristics (bed size, teaching status, ownership and control, region) and respondent characteristics (hospital work area/unit, staff position, interaction with patients).

Appendixes C and D show trends over time for the 321 hospitals that administered the survey and submitted data more than once. The average percent positive scores are shown for the composites and items, broken down by hospital characteristics (bed size, teaching status, ownership and control) and respondent characteristics (hospital work area/unit, staff position, interaction with patients).

Another round of voluntary data collection is planned to update the database with results from additional hospitals. Select for Hospital Comparative Database Submission Information.
