Patient Safety Culture

Culture of Safety Survey

To support a culture of patient safety and quality improvement, IHA offers the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Patient Safety Culture Surveys free to all IHA members. IHA uses SurveyMonkey to create and administer the surveys, collect the responses and analyze your organization’s culture as it relates to patient safety. At this time, IHA can offer the surveys for hospitals, medical offices and nursing homes. Following the survey, IHA prepares a report and analysis of your survey results. 

The AHRQ​​ hospital survey​ enables hospital leaders to gain insight into the perceptions of employees and physicians related to the culture of patient safety within each hospital. The results will provide data from which to measure the impact of hospital-specific and statewide safety interventions.
