Medical Offices

The Center for Patient Safety (CPS) has developed a robust administration process that saves you hours of manual work and still provides plenty of opportunities for unique customizations all while adhering to AHRQ requirements for benchmark comparisons. CPS supports the use of all AHRQ patient safety culture surveys because of their global application, cross-survey relevance among different provider groups, and large compare databases. 

AHRQ defines Medical Offices as:

• A medical office is an outpatient facility in a specific location.
• Each medical office located in a building containing multiple medical offices is considered a separate medical office.
• Providers in a single medical office should share administrative and clinical support staff.

In addition, the medical office survey includes:

• Nine items measure patient safety and quality issues.
• Five items are about information exchange with other settings.
• One screener question.
• Two overall rating questions.
• Three items about respondent background characteristics.

When CPS administers the AHRQ Medical Office SOPS™ to your organization, patient safety experts from health systems and medical office settings will be assigned to you for post-survey data interpretation support. They are experienced at drawing out the factors that are impacting your culture scores and help you efficiently determine the most valuable next steps.
