Surveys on Patient Safety Culture: Nursing Home Survey on Patient Safety Culture

Nursing Home Survey on Patient Safety Culture





In response to nursing homes interested in a survey that focuses on patient safety culture in their facilities, AHRQ sponsored the development of the Nursing Home Survey on Patient Safety Culture. This new survey is designed specifically for nursing home providers and staff and asks for their opinions about the culture of patient safety in their nursing home. It is not designed for use in assisted living facilities, community care facilities, or independent living facilities.

Comparative Database

Many nursing homes using the AHRQ Nursing Home Survey on Patient Safety Culture have expressed interest in comparing their results to other nursing homes. In response, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality has established the Nursing Home Survey on Patient Safety Culture Comparative Database. This database is a central repository for survey data from nursing homes that have administered the AHRQ patient safety culture survey instrument.

PDF Help)—The first edition of the AHRQ Nursing Home Survey on Patient Safety Culture User Comparative Database Report presents data from 16,155 staff within 226 U.S. nursing homes.

Data Entry and Analysis Tool

This data entry and analysis tool works with Microsoft® Excel® and makes it easy to input your individual-level data from the survey. The tool then automatically creates tables and graphs to display your survey results. To request the tool, send an E-mail to: DatabasesOnSafetyCulture@ahrq.hhs.gov.

Nursing Home Patient Safety Improvement Resources

This document contains references to Web sites that provide practical resources nursing homes can use to implement changes to improve patient safety culture and patient safety. These resources are not a complete and exhaustive list, but are provided to give initial guidance to nursing homes looking for information about patient safety initiatives. This document will be updated periodically.

Technical Assistance Conference Call

A national technical assistance conference call conducted on March 31, 2010, provides users with an overview of the development of the survey. In addition, two professionals share their success and challenges in survey administration from both a regional perspective and an individual nursing home, and discuss how to maximize survey response and use survey results to develop action plans to target safety culture improvement initiatives.
