www.premierinc.com/all/safety/culture/


The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) in partnership with Premier Inc., the Department of Defense and the American Hospital Association announced a new survey tool to assess the safety culture of a hospital as a whole, or specific units within hospitals, as well as to track changes in patient safety over time and evaluate the impact of patient safety interventions.
Many other resources are available at the web site to assess organizational safety culture.
