The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality developed the Nursing Home Survey on Patient Safety Culture to assess safety culture in the nursing home setting. The 2016 user comparative database report summarizes survey data obtained from 12,395 staff and provider respondents working in 209 nursing homes. The report highlights two areas of safety culture in which nursing homes appear to do well: overall perceptions of resident safety and feedback and communication about incidents. Areas identified as needing improvement across most nursing homes included staffing issues and ensuring a nonpunitive response to mistakes. A previous PSNet perspective provided insights on safety culture.
