What’s New in HSOPS 2.0
Revision to the AHRQ Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture™
In October 2019, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) released a revised version of the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture after 15 years.
AHRQ Comparative Databases have included over 2 million survey respondents across the United States. Internationally, the survey has been used across 93 countries in 40 different languages!

Define Transition Timeline Soon
Immediately review the implications and options your organization has for transitioning from HSOPS 1.0 to HSOPS 2.0. After 2020, new benchmarks will not be available for HSOPS 1.0, so it is strongly advised to make the transition within the next 24 months.
Define Transition Approach
The best approach for transitioning from HSOPS 1.0 to HSOPS 2.0 will vary depending on your system size and historical data quality. They primary options include:
Option 1: Administer HSOPS 2.0 for the next survey cycle
Option 2: Administer HSOPS 1.0 for a final time and then transition to HSOPS 2.0 twelve months later
Option 3: Conduct a simultaneous administration of HSOPS 1.0 and HSOPS 2.0
Develop a Safety Culture Roadmap
Any new change brings an opportunity to do things better. Although HSOPS 1.0 enabled many organizations to become more aware of patient safety culture issues, most organizations failed to act on the information in a systematic way.
