AHRQ Culture Survey: Administration, Analysis, Interpretation

The Joint Commission requires that hospitals measure the culture of safety within the organization using valid and reliable tools (LD.03.01.01, EP 1). The AHRQ Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture is a valid and well-established survey instrument that assesses a hospital’s patient safety culture and can be used to track changes in culture over time and evaluate the impact of patient safety interventions. 

 

Our expert consultants can help you assess the culture of safety in your organization. Using an online version of the AHRQ survey, JCR will assist with survey promotion in your organization, manage data collection, score survey response data, and develop a customized report on the AHRQ survey. JCR consultants will deliver the report detailing the results, initially providing a telephone consultation to address ways to implement change. In-depth analysis of culture by departments or employee groups is also available.
