DiCuccio MH. The Relationship Between Patient Safety Culture and Patient Outcomes: A Systematic Review. J Patient Saf. 2015;11(3):135-42. doi:10.1097/PTS.0000000000000058.

Due to its positive effect on outcomes, the authors call for more research to identify initiatives that can enhance safety culture.
