Additionally, we calculated correlations between the 12 safety culture dimensions and the individual item outcome measure Patient safety grade.
It consisted of 43 items: 10 safety culture dimensions and two outcome dimensions, as well as the individual item outcome measure Patient safety grade.
Most published results have included self-reported data which point to better item-by-item outcomes for blood pressure, lipid and HbA1C controls than for annual eye assessment, microalbuminuria check, feet examination, and influenza vaccination [ 8, 10, 12, 16, 33- 35].
The term "patient-reported outcomes" (PROs) has evolved to include any endpoint derived from patient reports, whether collected in the clinic, in a diary, or by other means, including single-item outcome measures, event logs, symptom reports, formal instruments to measure health-related quality of life (HRQL), health status, adherence, and satisfaction with treatment.
A 281-item outcome (questionnaire) was developed.
Additionally, correlations of the scales with the mono-item outcome variable patient safety grade were calculated.
Haywood et al [ 20] reviewed multi-item outcome measures for patients with acute ligament injuries of the ankle.
The POS is a ten-item outcome measure that assesses the quality of care in palliative patients [ 30].
Additionally, correlations of the scales with the mono-item outcome variable Patient safety grade have been calculated.
HSOPS has 51 questions divided into three parts as follows: background information (seven items), outcome measures of PSC (two items) and sub-dimensions of PSC (42 items).
The Swedish version of the instrument thus has 14 dimensions, 48 items and three single-item "outcome" questions (15/E, 16/G1 asd17/G2), ashownwn in Table 1.
