Culture of Safety Survey
Over 60,000 employees from over 87 Indiana hospitals have taken the culture survey. The project allows Indiana hospitals the opportunity to conduct employee patient safety culture surveys using a Web-based application of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality safety culture instrument.

The AHRQ survey allows 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 baseline data from which to measure the impact of hospital-specific and statewide safety interventions.

To participate each hospital must designate an on-site administrator. Designated survey administrators should participate in a one-hour, Web-based training session.

Hospitals that need more information should contact Betsy Lee at blee@ihaconnect.org.
