Patient Safety Culture

We recently launched an expression of interest (EOI) process for a Patient Safety Culture Survey.

This survey is based on the Australian Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture 2.0 (A-HSOPS 2.0) which was adapted by the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care (ACSQHC) from the United States Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, Surveys on Patient Safety Culture Hospital Survey 2.0 (SOPS 2.0). Cognitive and pilot testing was undertaken by the ACSQHC to ensure the survey was appropriate for the Australian context. 

ACHS has installed this survey in full in Metrik and implemented the ACSQHC recommended data presentation into our dashboard and printable reports. We have followed the same analytics as provided in the technical specifications for the survey, including composite question analytics. 

The EOI process is now concluding, and we will release the survey later this year to all ACHS and Clinical Indicator Program members, after making any changes following feedback from the EOI process. Currently there is no cost to conduct and download the results of the survey.
