Culture of Safety surveys have long been an effective tool to measuring and improving patient safety. Ideally, when done regularly, this process becomes part of your ASC's quality program and you benchmark your center’s results from survey to survey.

​

Many states have started mandating this survey as part of their quality assessments. The Florida Legislature mandated in July 2020 with House Bill 763 that ASCs are to conduct a Culture of Safety Survey every two years beginning in 2022 and submit the results. Click here to view House Bill 763.

However, the Agency for Health Care Administration has yet to finalize their rulemaking which will determine the survey tool and how the data is submitted.
