Part I
A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF SAFETY
CULTURE

The Armstrong Institute Model to
Improve Care

What is Safety Culture?
 Perceived priority of safety relative to
other goals
 Culture is the compass team
members use to guide their
behaviors, attitudes, & perceptions
on the job
• What will I get praised for?
• What will I get reprimanded for?
• What is the “right” thing to do?
Culture provides the context
for team success

What Are the Core Aspects of
Safety Culture…
Schein, 2007
Why Safety Culture Matters
1. Safety culture is related to outcomes
– Patient outcomes

Patient care experience

Infection rates, sepsis

Postop. hemorrhage, respiratory failure, accidental
puncture/laceration

Treatment errors
– Clinician outcomes

Incident reporting, burnout, turnover
Huang et al., 2010; Mardon et al., 2010; MacDavitt
et al., 2007; Singer et al., 2009; Sorra et al., 2012;
Weaver, 2011.
9
Why Safety Culture Matters
2. Safety culture influences the effectiveness of
other safety and quality interventions
– Can enhance or inhibit effects of other
interventions
3. Safety culture can change through intervention
– Best evidence so far for culture interventions that
use multiple components
Haynes et al., 2011; Morello et al., 2012; Van
Nord et al., 2010; Weaver et al., in press

Part II
MEASURING SAFETY CULTURE
11
CUSP & Safety Culture
• Safety Culture is typically measured “Pre-CUSP”
(before interventions begin):
– Provides a baseline to diagnose barriers and facilitators that
can impact improvement efforts
– Then can be measured 12-18 months following start of
improvement efforts
• Use reliable and valid survey instrument
– Hospital Survey on Patient Safety (HSOPS)
• CUSP is the intervention that you will use to help you
improve culture results
12
What is the Hospital Survey on
Patient Safety (HSOPS)?
 Part of a suite of survey tools (SOPS) for hospitals, medical
offices, nursing homes
•
Sponsored by: Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality
•
Developed by Westat, public release in 2004
 The HSOPS App: An online survey tool
 Developed by the Armstrong Institute, in partnership with CeCity
 Allows participants to complete the survey online and survey coordinators to
access detailed reports of results
 Participants are asked to choose 1 to 5 for each question:
1 Strongly Disagree 2 Disagree 3 Neither Agree nor Disagree 4 Agree 5Strongly Agree
1 Never 2 Rarely 3 Sometimes 4 Most of the time 5 Always

16
Part III
OVERVIEW OF THE SURVEY
ADMINISTRATION PROCESS
17
Effective surveys…
1.
Are confidential and anonymous
•
•
•
2.
Have a clear reason and motivation to complete them
•
3.
No way to link responses with email address or other individual
information
Results reported at unit-level
Critical that the survey coordinator, project team, and leadership focus on
survey as a tool for learning and improvement
Must be clear to staff why you are asking them to complete this survey,
what will happen with results, and what will be done based on their input
Are publically supported by both formal and informal unit
leaders
•
If leaders and colleagues view the survey as important and worthy of their
time, frontline staff will be more motivated to contribute their input
18
Two Options for HSOPS
Option 1
Option 2
Collect fresh HSOPS data from
participating work areas
Upload previously collected
HSOPS data from participating
work areas
• Use online HSOPS App to
survey work area team
members
• Upload excel file to online
HSOPS App

Who are key personnel in the
HSOPS process?
21
Survey Coordinators: Key
Responsibilities
Survey coordinators…
•
Help to coordinate the survey administration process,
•
Learn how to use the online survey database (via training webinars
and conference calls)
•
Help survey participants with the survey process,
•
Enter data about the work areas participating in the survey into the
online survey database,
•
Monitor the survey response rate using the online survey database,
•
Work with hospital and work area leadership to distribute survey
materials and information,
•
Communicate with other HSOPS Coordinators in the project
22
Online HSOPS Application
(“HSOPS App”)
23
Developing HSOPS Survey List
1. Determine whom to survey
 Clinical staff only?
 Non-clinical support staff (e.g., environmental services)?
2.
Compile unit email list
 E-mail address
 Hospital area/unit
 Staffing category (e.g., physician, nurse, technician, administrative
support)
Make sure your list is up to date, check for:
–
–
–
–
–
Staff on administrative or extended sick leave,
Staff who appear in more than one staffing category or hospital area/unit,
Staff who have moved to another hospital area/unit,
Staff who no longer work at the hospital, and
Other changes that may affect the accuracy of your list email addresses
24
Pre-Notification Materials to Inform
Unit Clinicians and Staff of HSOPS
1.
Why the hospital is conducting the survey and how staff responses
will be used,
2.
Which hospital staff were selected to be surveyed (e.g., all staff,
nursing staff, all clinical staff, a random sample of staff, etc.),
3.
How much time is needed to complete the survey, Confidentiality or
anonymity assurances,
4.
Suggested reply timeframe and how to return completed surveys,
5.
Contact information for the main hospital point-of-contact.
Sorra & Nieva, 2004
25
Why should we aim for a
response rate of 60% or higher?
Response rate =
Number of respondents who completed the online survey divided by
the total number of unit members who were invited to complete the
survey
Safety culture reflects the shared perceptions
among unit members
• Response rate of 60% is minimum necessary for a
relatively representative sample
• Important for validity and reliability of results
26
Tips for Effective Surveys
•
Communicate to all staff on the unit the importance of their valuable
input
•
Check response rates periodically and send reminders at different
times throughout the survey administration process: before the survey
is administered and a few times during the survey administration
process
•
Send periodic reminders through various communication channels,
such as emails, announcements, during staff meetings, etc.
•
Create a debriefing plan for sharing results with clinicians and staff
•
Don’t be afraid to reach out for assistance when in doubt
27
Thinking ahead: Creating a Debriefing
Plan for your Survey Results
Debriefing is…
– A semi-structured conversation among frontline clinicians
and staff that is usually led by a designated facilitator
Purpose…
1. Encourage open communication, transparency, and
interactive discussion about the survey results across all
levels
2. To engage clinicians and staff in generating and
implementing their ideas about how to create an effective
safety culture in their work area
28
Some points to cover in your debriefing
plan
29
Conducting HSOPS Debriefings:
CUSP Culture Check-Up Tool
• What is the Purpose of this Tool?
– Understand the culture of the unit
– Use teammates’ feedback to predict barriers to change and avoid
them
– Use feedback to make the most of the team’s strengths
• Who Should Use this Tool?
– Safety culture debriefing facilitators
• Use this tool to help guide the discussion and record group
decisions
