Most studies of safety culture have focused on hospitals, but the majority of health care takes place in outpatient care. Safety culture in primary care differs from hospital settings. This systematic review was only able to identify two studies, each with significant methodological shortcomings, that examined how to enhance safety culture in primary care. The authors suggest that more intervention studies of safety culture improvement in primary care are needed.
