Needs and Uses: The 2001 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)
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). As an ongoing response to this
legislation, DHA Headquarters has implemented a web-based patient
safety culture survey to obtain DHA staff opinions on patient safety
issues. Participation in the DHA Patient Safety Culture Survey also
fulfills The Joint Commission (TJC) accreditation requirements related
to assessing patient safety culture and using the results to improve.
As part of its Leadership Standards, TJC requires facility leaders to
regularly evaluate the culture of safety and quality using valid and
reliable tools and prioritize and implement changes identified by the
evaluation. Additionally, DHA inpatient military treatment facilities
(MTFs) recently began participating in The Leapfrog Hospital Safety
Grade, an
[[Page 77502]]
initiative that provides a letter grade rating of a hospital's patient
safety measures through more than 30 national performance indicators.
Participation in the DHA Patient Safety Culture Survey provides MTFs
with data and information assessed by The Leapfrog Group as part of the
Hospital Safety Grade calculation.
Affected Public: Federal government; individuals or households.
Frequency: As required.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
