Why hospitals conduct staff surveys on a regular basis as part of an ongoing program to improve your care.
Measuring patient safety culture from the perspective of staff can provide insights that lead to improvements in care.
Advice on using the data collected through surveys of patient safety culture.
Implementing the survey and strategies for achieving a high level of response from your staff.
Before starting a patient safety culture project, it is important to take some time to plan out your approach, scope, budget and resources. Agreeing on these fundamental issues will contribute to the success of the project.
Information on measuring patient safety culture including the Australian Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture.
Why measurement of patient safety culture is important and tools to support measurement at your hospital.
Hospital management’s role in patient safety culture. What are the benefits of using measurement of patient safety culture to improve the care you provide.
The Commission delivered consultations to develop the requirements for the National One Stop Shop and the National Clinical Trials Front Door, on behalf of the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care, in partnership with all jurisdictions via the Clinical Trials Project Reference Group.
Why you are being asked for your perspective on patient safety culture and how the information will be used.

ePPOC is an integrated outcome centre which aims to improve the quality of outcomes and services for people experiencing chronic pain. It is an initiative of the Faculty of Pain Medicine, and was established in 2013 with funding from the NSW Ministry of Health.
There are 90 specialist adult and paediatric pain management services participating in ePPOC, across Australia and New Zealand.
The purpose and aims of ePPOC are to:
- produce information on the effectiveness of pain management interventions through use of standardised assessment tools and measures;
- develop an Australasian benchmarking system to improve pain management outcomes;
- provide comparative data to pain management services using the benchmarks developed;
- develop clinical and management information reports that meet the needs of ePPOC stakeholders;
- provide annual reports that summarise the Australasian data; and
- develop research proposals to address areas of interest within the pain management sector.
ePPOC receives data describing over 32,000 patients attending chronic pain clinics each year. The longitudinal database currently contains over 100,000 patients.
For adult services, nine benchmarks and one indicator have been endorsed for pain management services to strive to achieve. These cover the following domains: pain and interference, depression, anxiety, stress, pain self-efficacy, pain catastrophising, opioid use and waiting time for treatment.
For paediatric services, there is currently one benchmark and three indicators, covering waiting time for treatment, pain, quality of life and functional disability.

The PCCR captures diagnosis, treatment, quality of life and mortality data for men diagnosed with prostate from 1 January 2015 onwards. Only men who have been diagnosed or treated by a participating clinician and hospital across NSW are eligible for recruitment into the registry. The data collected measures the quality of care and provides feedback to consumers and health professionals about the management of prostate cancer in the state.

AROC Director, Australian Health Services Research Institute, University of Wollongong, aroc@uow.edu.au
AROC is the rehabilitation integrated clinical outcomes and benchmarking centre for Australia and New Zealand. AROC operates in the inpatient and ambulatory settings and includes both adult and paediatric rehabilitation sectors. Coverage in the inpatient adult rehabilitation sector is almost 100%, with 289 services participating in data collection and benchmarking. A growing number of adult ambulatory rehabilitation services are also participating. All specialist paediatric rehabilitation services are participating in both the paediatric inpatient and ambulatory benchmarking initiatives.
The primary purpose of AROC is to facilitate improvement in the quality of rehabilitation and thus patient outcomes achieved. Each member of AROC collects the appropriate defined AROC dataset for each and every episode of rehabilitation care provided. The datasets include demographic, clinical, process and outcome data items. AROC receives data describing almost 150,000 episodes of rehabilitation each year. The longitudinal database currently contains 1.5 million records and is thus a rich resource that forms a spine of rehabilitation data available to underpin research in the sector.
Members of AROC receive a suite of benchmarking reports each six months, comparing the outcomes they achieve with the national data. AROC also holds regular quality forums/benchmarking workshops to present data at service level and facilitate the identification and uptake of best practice processes. As well as publishing an Annual Report describing the state of rehabilitation in each country, AROC provides a range of resources for members including decision support tools and best practice case studies.

The SBIS Registry has been established to provide a comprehensive registry of severe burn injuries treated at the three NSW Burns Units: the Children’s Hospital at Westmead, Royal North Shore Hospital and Concord Repatriation General Hospital. Burns patients represent a well defined and distinct subgroup of trauma patients in NSW. Extensive burns are associated with substantial treatment and rehabilitation costs, and many result in permanent disability, highlighting the need to monitor the incidence, management and outcomes of burn injury.
The data collected enables the registry to meet its aims of monitoring, surveillance and clinical evaluation and is critical for:
- Improving service planning for burns patients in NSW
- Informing the development of injury prevention campaigns and strategies
- Developing best practice clinical guidelines and initiatives
- Developing key clinical indicators at a state level
- Monitoring quality and types of care provided to burns patients
- Allowing the generation of reports used in monthly, quarterly and annual audits for the burns service.

- Shared with consumers
