Summary
In healthcare, the culture of safe care is an essential prerequisite to be taken into account in order to effectively carry out actions to improve patient safety. Published by Haute Autorité de Santé (the French National Authority for Health), this is a new analysis of patient safety culture that assesses almost 30,000 health sector workers.

The study showed that almost 30% of healthcare institutions have participated in this measure, which shows that the culture of care safety is beginning to interest the governance of the establishments and professionals.
The least developed dimensions of the care safety culture are mainly related to the role of managers and relate to human resources (32%), non-punitive response to error (35%), teamwork between the institution's departments (40%) and management support for the safety of care (45%). These results do not differ from what has been observed in previous regional measurements.
