Database Report for Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture

Based on data from 653 U.S. hospitals, the 2014 User Comparative Database Report provides initial results that a hospital can use to compare its patient safety culture to other U.S. hospitals. Three percent of respondents were pediatric units. The 2014 report also presents results showing change over time for 359 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 359 trending hospitals. Go to:
