WHY Culture?WHY Culture?

Sentinel Event AlertIssue 40, July 9, 2008Behaviors that undermine a culture of safety

Intimidating and disruptive behaviors can foster medical errors,(1,2,3) contribute to poor patient satisfaction and to preventable adverse outcomes,(1,4,5) increase the cost of care,(4,5) and cause qualified clinicians, administrators and managers to seek new positions in more professional environments. (1,6) Safety and quality of patient care is dependent on teamwork, communication, and a collaborative work environment. To assure quality and to promote a culture of safety, health care organizations must address the problem of behaviors that threaten the performance of the health care team.… 3

Communication Breakdowns are frequently the root cause of…undesirable outcomes

Culture Assessment Culture Assessment

• Typically “Pre-CUSP” ~ before interventions begin or as soon as possible near the project launch

• Use validated instrument– HSOPS– SAQ– ? Other

• CUSP is the intervention we use to help you improve culture results

• Will provide blinded comparative data for ICUS that administer HSOPS as part of the On the CUSP: Stop BSI project

• DISTINCT process ~ planned for early MAY– Conference Call for State Project Leaders– Conference Call for Hospital Survey Leaders

• Will use AHRQ HSOPS tool (free)– WESTAT researchers will analyze data and create

reports– Participating sites will have full access to

AHRQ/HSOPS resources• QSRG will facilitate data collection

– SURVEY MONKEY• QSRG will facilitate use of tools to improve culture

BackgroundBackground

Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPS)

Developed by Westat, funded by AHRQ

Survey development process:

Reviewed literature & existing surveys

Interviewed hospital staff

Identified key areas of safety culture

Developed survey items & pretested

Obtained input from researchers & stakeholders

Pilot tested in 21 hospitals with 1,437 respondents

Final survey released November 2004 www.ahrq.gov/qual/hospculture

HSOPS Patient Safety Culture HSOPS Patient Safety Culture Dimensions Dimensions

42 items assess 12 dimensions of patient safety culture

1. Communication openness

2. Feedback & communication about error

3. Frequency of event reporting

4. Handoffs & transitions

5. Management support for patient safety

6. Nonpunitive response to error

7. Organizational learning--continuous improvement

© 2009

8. Overall perceptions of patient safety

9. Staffing

10. Supv/mgr expectations & actions promoting patient safety

11. Teamwork across units

12. Teamwork within units

Patient safety “grade” (Excellent to Poor)

Number of events reported in past 12 months

HSOPS Comparative DatabaseHSOPS Comparative Database

AHRQ has funded an HSOPS comparative database Annual reports (2007 & 2008)– http://www.ahrq.gov/qual/hospsurvey08/

Purposes: Comparison—of survey results in efforts to establish, improve and maintain a culture of patient safety

Assessment and Learning—in patient safety improvement process (rather than basis for determining punitive actions or external judgment of hospital performance)

Supplemental Information—to help hospitals identify strengths and areas with potential for patient safety culture improvement

Results by Hospital CharacteristicsResults by Hospital Characteristics

Smaller hospitals (49 beds or fewer) scored highest on all dimensions of safety culture

Smallest hospitals (6 – 24 beds) 21% more positive on Handoffs & Transitions than largest hospitals (400+ beds)

56% positive vs. 35%

No differences teaching vs. non-teaching

On the CUSP: Next StepsOn the CUSP: Next Steps

1. Determine what culture tool your hospital/ICU is using

– Determine whether your participating units will administer HSOPS as part of this project

2. Respond to email from your state coordinator who will collect participant information for HSOPS survey process

3. Designate a survey coordinator in each unit4. Survey coordinators will participate in a training

call in April 5. Survey administration targeted for MAY
