ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To describe perceptions of patient safety culture (PSC) among US vascular interventional technologists (VIR).METHODS:
A letter to complete The Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture online was distributed in the US to all full-time American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT)-registered technologists with a primary discipline of cardiac-interventional or vascular interventional (n=3,184). Mean scores on each PSC dimension and overall outcome measures were calculated.RESULTS:
The response rate was 13.7% (n=437) for the entire universe of ARRT-registered VIR technologists working full-time. Overall, respondents ranked the following dimensions as supporting patient safety within their respective institution supervisor/manager promotion of patient safety, staffing, hospital handoffs/transitions, and teamwork within units. Neutral perceptions focused on teamwork across hospital units, hospital management's support for patient safety, and nonpunitive response to errors.CONCLUSION:
For this population, teamwork across hospital units and administrative support for a culture of safety should be addressed. With almost 20' of respondents rating their institutions with an overall safety grade of C or below, there is clearly a need for further investigation of patient safety issues within VIR departments to confirm these findings and to expand the scope of inquiry to other radiologic science professionals.
