As part of its commitment to promote high reliability in health care, 91Ï㽶¶ÌÊÓƵ urges organizations to establish a safety culture that fosters trust in reporting unsafe conditions to ensure high-quality patient care. A project recently completed by 91Ï㽶¶ÌÊÓƵ addressed how to improve the assessment of safety culture during survey. Health care organizations and surveyors responded so positively to the project that 91Ï㽶¶ÌÊÓƵ will
implement survey process improvements in June 2018 for hospitals and critical access hospitals and in October 2018 for all other programs.
