Safety culture criteria

The safety culture criteria depicted in Table 9.1 can be understood as the goals or ideal end states of patient safety management and they can be used as a frame to define monitor indicators. Organisational activities can be viewed from the point of view of how they contribnte to these six ideal states. The control functions in Table 9.2 on the other hand can be used for selecting drive indicators that facilitate change in the right direction. 

Consider documenting any process safety culture criterion or measurements the comparer wants to be consistently effective and maintain a dependable practice over... 

Restricted by the level of economic development and staff own quality, the safety concept of miners is generally we at present. It is in the dependent and passive position basically. They abide by the rules and regulations only because they are afraid of being punished. The so-called safety first and safety discipline consciousness is fuzzy. In addition, various safety regulations in some enterprises are to some extent on paper or verbal, not into a habit and behavior criterion of all employees, which is not enough to let them consciously accept and promote coal mine safety culture. 

Of conrse, this approach is based on the assumption that safety culture correlates with safety outcomes. Therefore, it is of critical importance to confirm the cnltnre-ontcome link, which is one of the requirements for a safety culture scale, understood as criterion validity - a more comprehensive summary of the required properties can be found in other literature (e.g. Itoh et al. 2012). For this applied purpose of safety culture, this chapter specifically looks at dimensions of safety culture, how to measure safety outcomes, and the safety culture-outcome link through an examination of case studies, primarily drawn from Japanese hospitals. Before stating these issues in detail, we will, in the rest of this section, briefly argue notions of safety culture (and safety climate). 

In this subsection, we apply another type of safety performance data, i.e., self-reported staff attitudes to error reporting and interaction with the patient, to the test of criterion validity of the safety culture factors. For this purpose, we used the nurse sample of the Japanese data including more than 17,000 questionnaire responses collected from 82 hospitals (Itoh and Andersen, 2010). An example of resrrlts of correlation analysis is shown in Table 4.10 in terms of Spearman s rho, using the mild outcome case in the three vignettes offered - results for the near-miss and severe cases were quite similar to this case. 

With regard to employee performance evaluations, WSRC should ensure that performance evaluations for appropriate employees are based on nuclear safety dedication and include performance standards related to the maintenance of a positive safety culture attitude. Pending the above, acceptable satisfaction of this criterion remains an open item.
