Safety CultureQuestionnaire
The Modified Stanford Instrument (MSI) is a Patient Safety Culture questionnaire
that has been used to measure staff perceptions of patient safety culture
in healthcare organizations:
- THE CAN-PSCS (FORMERLY THE MSI PATIENT SAFETY CULTURE SURVEY)
The 2-page 2010 version of the survey is presently being used in a number of Canadian jurisdictions with multiple staff groups and different care settings. Beginning in 2014, the CAN-PSCS will be implemented as part of the Canadian Accreditation Process.

- RESEARCH ON MEASURING PATIENT SAFETY CULTURE
The properties of the survey continue to be assessed in a large study funded by the Canadian Patient Safety Institute. A summary of the study can be found on the CPSI's website. A paper was also published in Health Services Research 2009
- IMPLEMENTATION HANDBOOK
The survey is being used for research as well as monitoring and improvement activity within healthcare organizations. As part of this study we devised an implementation handbook (PDF)
for organizations who are using the survey.
- SAMPLE REPORT
We have been working on ways to help organizations interpret the findings. A sample lay report with a summary of findings, some comparative benchmarking data, and recommendations has been provided to some organizations who have used the MSI in the past (PDF
