Tool Helps Pharmacies Assesses Patient Safety Culture
Using the Pharmacy Survey on Patient Safety Culture, community pharmacies can assess their culture of patient safety and identify areas for improvement. The survey is designed for pharmacy staff, including clerks, technicians and pharmacists. It measures 11 areas of patient safety culture such as physical space and environment, patient counseling, communication about prescriptions across shifts, and teamwork. It also includes items about the frequency of documenting mistakes and an overall rating on patient safety. Toolkit materials include the survey form, a document identifying items by composite and a Survey User’s Guide. To download the survey, visit: http://www.ahrq.gov/professionals/quality-patient-safety/surveys/pharmacy/
The Pharmacy Survey on Patient Safety Culture is part of a family of tools that AHRQ has developed to help health care providers measure their safety culture. Other surveys are available for hospitals, nursing homes and medical offices.
