Safety Organizing Scale – High Reliability Survey and Automated Analytics Report Toolkit

Safety Organizing Scale – High Reliability Toolkit

Building a high-reliability organization (HRO) requires more than just good intentions. It demands actionable data and insight into how teams are embracing safety culture at every level. The Safety Organizing Scale (SOS), originally developed through the study "The Safety Organizing Scale: Development and Validation of a Behavioral Measure of Safety Culture in Hospital Nursing Units," offers a powerful tool for this purpose.

This 9-question survey is designed to evaluate how the organization embraces each of the five cognitive processes geared towards anticipating and containing the unexpected:

  • Preoccupation with failure;
  • Reluctance to simplify interpretations;
  • Sensitivity to operations;
  • Commitment to resilience; and 
  • Deference to expertise.

To support healthcare leaders in their mission to enhance safety and reliability, American Data Network provides a comprehensive toolkit that simplifies the entire process. This easy-to-use template allows you to quickly administer the survey and automatically generates an analytics report as responses come in. The detailed insights help you identify strengths and gaps in real time, making it easier to implement changes that move your organization toward HRO status.
