Abstract: The Department of Defense Patient Safety Culture Survey (PSCS) data collection effort is conducted in response to a task order from the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs, Department of Defense (DoD), and the Defense Health Agency (DHA). Part of the DoD Patient Safety Program’s (PSP’s) mission is to identify and analyze reports on actual and potential problems within the medical systems and processes in each military treatment facility (MTF) within the Military Health System (MHS). In support of its mission, the PSP administers a web-based patient safety culture survey to a census of staff working in Army, Navy, Air Force, and National Capital Region Medical Directorate (NCR) MHS facilities in the Continental United States (CONUS) and internationally (OCONUS) to assess the status of patient safety culture in MHS facilities worldwide.
