Summary: Patients are underutilized as a source of information for safety measurement and improvement in healthcare. This review identified existing patient-reported safety climate measures in healthcare and found significant variability in their coverage of safety climate domains, validity and reliability, and usability. The findings emphasize the need for a stand-alone measure that has high validity and reliability, and assesses core safety climate domains from the patient perspective, particularly in primary care.
