Database Now Open for AHRQ Ambulatory Surgery Center Survey on Patient Safety Culture

Ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) that have administered AHRQ’s Ambulatory Surgery Center Survey on Patient Safety Culture can submit their data to the database until July 22. ASCs that submit their data will receive free individual feedback and summary reports to identify strengths and opportunities for improvement in their organizations. Results from submitted ASC data will also be available in the aggregate in an Ambulatory Surgery Center Database Report, which will provide average scores and percentiles on the survey questions and composite measures. To register and submit data, ASCs must have a valid CMS Certification Number and be located in the U.S. or U.S. territories. For questions, email DatabasesOnSafetyCulture@westat.com, or call 1-888-324-9790. Access an animated video to learn more about using the survey.
