SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Department of Defense (DoD)
Patient Safety Culture Survey; OMB Control Number 0720-0034.
Needs and Uses: The 2001 National Defense Authorization Act
contains specific sections addressing patient safety in military and
veterans' health care systems. This legislation states that the
Secretary of Defense shall establish a patient care error reporting and
management system to study occurrences of errors in patient care and
that one purpose of the system should be to ``identify systemic factors
that are associated with such occurrences'' and ``to provide for action
to be taken to correct the identified systemic factors'' (sec. 754,
items b2 and b3). In addition, the legislation states that the
Secretary shall ``continue research and development investments to
improve communication, coordination, and teamwork in the provision of
health care'' (Sec. 754, item d4). In its ongoing response to this
legislation and in support of its mission to ``promote a culture of
safety to eliminate preventable patient harm by engaging, educating and
equipping patient-care teams to institutionalize evidence-based safe
practices,'' the DoD Patient Safety Program plans to field the DoD
Patient Safety Culture Survey. The Culture Survey is based on the
Department of Health and Human Services' Agency for Healthcare Research
and Quality's validated survey instrument. The survey obtains Military
Health System staff opinions on patient safety issues such as teamwork,
communications, medical error occurrence and response, error reporting,
and overall perceptions of patient safety.

Annual Burden Hours: 1,228.
Number of Respondents: 7,370.
