NURS FPX 8030 Assessment 4 Assessing patient safety culture within any healthcare organization is essential to improving safety and quality of care. This study aims to evaluate the patient safety culture of a particular healthcare organization using two well-established instruments: The Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC) and the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle using questionnaires and checklists. Many studies have applied them to assess and enhance safety culture and practice. The HSOPSC consists of efficiency questionnaires that accustom the appraisal of safety culture dimensions, whereas the PDSA cycle tends to facilitate successive enhancements in clinical practices (Ahmed et al., 2023). Thus, using these assessment tools, the study aims to pinpoint functional interventions’ concrete potential and premise for the organization-based context.
The specific measures of effectiveness proposed for one instrument are designed to apply to a particular kind of intervention.
Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC), designed by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), is one of the most popular questionnaires for identifying facility safety culture. It also provides reliable scores on various aspects of safety culture like Teamwork, communication, reporting of errors, etc., making it suitable for assessing the efficacy of the patient safety intervention. All these dimensions are essential when one wants to know how any particular intervention affects the safety climate. NURS FPX 8030 Assessment 4 survey uses a quantitative research approach with structural questionnaires completed on the Likert scale, which will allow the collection of measurable and manageable data regarding the attitudes and perceptions of personnel towards patient safety. Research has shown its robustness, accuracy, and internal consistency coefficients that are commonly more significant than 0. The field survey measures have a Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient of 0. 70, suggesting good reliability (Bujang et al., 2018). The HSOPSC has been utilised in many different healthcare settings worldwide, making it amply established to support benchmarking and identify changes in performance over time.
