Description
The high-pressure environment of hospital Emergency Departments (ED) poses a challenge for ensuring a culture of patient safety. This study explored the elements of safety culture in the ED and identified the factors that influence it, through a survey of hospital staff, interviews with patient safety experts and a modified Delphi study. The study identified a range of managerial, organisational, professional and patient factors that influence safety culture in the ED and proposes a novel conceptual framework that demonstrates how these factors interrelate. It identified the value of effective multidisciplinary teams, professional well-being and improved working environments for the safety of patients.
