How would you design an organizational assessment to establish the current state of: shared governance, culture of the organization, and safety of patient care?

To establish the current state of shared governance, culture and safety of patient care, I would design an organizational assessment using a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods. This could include surveys that measure staff engagement and satisfaction in order to gauge how employees feel about their roles within the organization as well as their relationship with management. Additionally, focus groups could also be conducted in order to provide more insight into any issues or areas for improvement.

In terms of safety, interviews with patients and families would allow us to gain further understanding regarding their experience with the healthcare facility. Additionally, we could review existing protocols to assess alignment with safety standards set forth by regulatory bodies such as The Joint Commission or Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Also analyzing data related to healthcare outcomes such as mortality rates or infection control measures can help identify potential risk factors while providing tangible evidence on the level of patient care being provided by the organization.
