How often should an organization administer the AHRQ Surveys on Patient Safety Culture?
On average, hospitals that have submitted to the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture Comparative Database more than once readminister the survey every 16 months. Although we do not provide any set recommendations regarding when to readminister the survey, we do caution against administering the survey less than 6 months apart. This would apply as well to the medical office and nursing home settings.
