https://www.ahrq.gov/sops/databases/asc/index.html Results from AHRQ’s Surveys on Patient Safety Culture® (SOPS®) Ambulatory Surgery Center Survey (ASC): 2025 Database Report are now available. The findings generally reflect strong positive results for safety culture in ASCs, with staffing identified as a key area for potential improvement. Strengths include the overall composite score (85% positive average) and organizational learning and continuous improvement (91% positive average). In contrast, questions about staffing, work pressure, and pace yielded a much lower score (72% positive average), indicating that these tended to be areas for improvement.
