Given the widespread impact of ASCs on
patient safety, the new Ambulatory Surgery/Procedure Survey on
Patient Safety Culture (Ambulatory Surgery SOPS) will measure ASC
staff perceptions about what is important in their organization and
what attitudes and behaviors related to patient safety culture are
supported, rewarded, and expected. The survey will help ASCs to
identify and discuss strengths and weaknesses of patient safety
culture within their individual facilities. They can then use that
knowledge to develop appropriate action plans to improve their
practices and their culture of patient safety. This survey is
designed for use in ASCs that practice all types of surgical
procedures including those that require incisions and less invasive
or non-surgical procedures such as gastrointestinal procedures or
pain management injections.
