Surveys on Patient Safety Culture® (SOPS®) Ambulatory Surgery Center Database

Summary

The US Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has established the AHRQ Surveys on Patient Safety Culture® (SOPS®) Ambulatory Surgery Center Database as a central repository for survey data from ambulatory surgery centres (ASCs) that have administered the AHRQ patient safety culture survey instrument and choose to submit their survey data to the AHRQ SOPS Ambulatory Surgery Centre Database. The database serves as an important resource for patient safety culture improvement.

Participation is free and open to all SOPS ASC Survey users, provided the questionnaires are administered in a manner consistent with SOPS guidance and survey data are submitted according to SOPS specifications. The SOPS ASC Database contains data voluntarily submitted by participating ASCs and is not representative of all U.S. ASCs.
