Health care workers’ perception of safety is an important indicator of safety culture. Using data from the 2021 AHRQ Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture™ (SOPS®), these researchers examined individual and organizational factors influencing perceived patient safety ratings. Findings indicate that nurses have lower patient safety perceptions compared to other job types and that organizational factors such as organizational learning, leadership support, and ease of handoffs and information exchange, were all associated with higher perceived patient safety.
