SUB AGENCY (I/C): HHS/AHRQ
TITLE: Pilot Test of the Proposed Workplace Safety Supplemental Item Set
For the AHRQ Surveys on Patient Safety Culture™ (SOPS®) Nursing Home Survey
GENERIC CLEARANCE UNDER OMB#: 0935-0124 EXP. DATE: 01/31/2024
ABSTRACT: In November 2021, AHRQ released a supplemental item set on workplace safety for the hospital setting. Now there is interest in developing a reliable, public-use item set that is limited in scope so it can be used in conjunction with the AHRQ SOPS Nursing Home Survey. The goal is to develop 15-20 items across 5-6 composite measures rather than developing a full-length survey.
The supplemental item set will be used by nursing homes to enable them to assess the organizational culture factors that contribute to workplace safety, and help them identify strengths and areas for improvement to efficiently target resources to improve workplace safety.
Most existing surveys on workplace safety focus on organizational, management, and provider and staff compliance with regulations, and are more like safety checklists. There is currently a dearth of validated survey items focusing on provider and staff perspectives about aspects of organizational culture that support workplace safety. We have been unable to find instruments that address workplace safety for the nursing home setting, in one, brief instrument, development of which is the objective of this research.
