Surveys on Patient Safety Culture (SOPS) Hospital Survey

In 2004, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) released the Surveys on Patient Safety Culture™ (SOPS®) Hospital Survey for providers and other staff to assess patient safety culture in their hospitals. Since then, hundreds of hospitals across the United States and internationally have implemented the survey. In 2019, AHRQ released a new version, the SOPS Hospital Survey 2.0. The original survey—Version 1.0—is still available; however, the use of Version 2.0 is encouraged.
