Whats New in the 2010 User Comparative Database Report?
The Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture 2010 User Comparative Database Report is an update of the 2009 report, presenting the most current survey data and trending data available. The 2010 report includes 321 trending hospitals that submitted data to the comparative database more than once, which provides substantially more data to analyze trends in patient safety culture over time. On average, hospitals show small increases in the patient safety culture composites and survey items over time. The average increase in composite scores across the 321 trending hospitals is 2 percent (ranging from 1 percent to 3 percent). In addition, the 2010 report contains questionnaire data on actions taken by 292 trending hospitals to improve patient safety culture. In addition, we enacted several new rules regarding a minimum number of responses for calculating the percent positive scores. First, we only calculated percent positive scores for hospitals that had at least 10 completed surveys. Sec
