Safety Culture Survey

[Michelle Chunger]

Hi, 

We are looking to implement a Safety Culture survey, which surveys do people use? Does anyone have experience of a survey that is fit for purpose for both Community areas and Acute Inpatient?

Many Thanks for sharing

Hi Michelle,

we’ve a few of those on the hub, should be searchable. Any problem, just let us know @Patient Safety Learning

I met with the CEO of an Australian company this week and they have a tool that hasn’t yet been used in healthcare. It is a 10 minute survey that looks at: health and well being;  safety systems; safety leadership; safety engagement. It’s called the Health and Safety Index. It looks pretty impressive. I’ve been thinking that it would be good to get a few pilots in healthcare on it and they’re keen. If you’re interested, do let me know and I’ll make the introductions healthandsafetyindex.com.au

Hi Michelle

A couple of resources on the hub you might find useful:

AHRQ SOPS surveys

South West Patient Safety Collaborative: Safer Culture, Better Care – the ‘SCORE’ assessment tool

Just and learning culture - what it means for Mersey Care @joanne.bull@merseycare.nhs

@Michelle Chunger we'd love to hear how you get on and to share any learning or outcomes. Bets of luck, and keep us posted!

We conducted our own Safety Culture survey using Survey Monkey in Feb 2020 across the whole organisation - not just clinical.

The survey was divided into sections to explore:
• Employee Information
• SLH Management Commitment to safety
• Communication
• Training and Education
• Compliance
• Learning Organisation

Having adressed COVID using a systems approach we will revist the survey later this year.

Hi @Val Noble, we'd love to hear more about this work, to share your learning through a blog perhaps for the hub? Are you able to share a template here of the survey you designed? Or to share any challenges or successes you found during the process?
