OBJECTIVE To identify the perceptions of leaderships toward patient safety culture dimensions in the routine of hospitals with different administrative profiles: government, social and private organizations, and make correlations among participating institutions regarding dimensions of patient safety culture used. METHOD A quantitative cross-sectional study that used the Self Assessment Questionnaire 30 translated into Portuguese. The data were processed by analysis of variance (ANOVA) in addition to descriptive statistics, with statistical significance set at p-value ≤ 0.05. RESULTS According to the participants' perceptions, the significant dimensions of patient safety culture were 'patient safety climate' and 'organizational learning', with 81% explanatory power. Mean scores showed that among private organizations, higher values were attributed to statements; however, the correlation between dimensions was stronger among government hospitals. CONCLUSION Different hospital organizations present distinct values for each dimension of patient safety culture and their investigation enables professionals to identify which dimensions need to be introduced or improved to increase patient safety.
O Complexo HCFMUSP, por ser parte da Rede Sentinela da ANVISA desde 2001, assumiu o compromisso de colaborar na vigilância pós-comercialização de tecnologias em saúde. As notificações das não conformidades relacionadas à vigilância destas tecnologias aconteciam de forma descentralizada e, em grande parte, através de formulários impressos, dificultando a consolidação, análise, tratamento e a disseminação de informações. Além disso, a prática de notificar entre os colaboradores era pequena em relação à atividade assistencial existente. Objetivando a melhoria do processo de acompanhamento do comportamento das tecnologias em saúde foi desenvolvido na própria organização um sistema de notificação eletrônica, com a finalidade de ampliar o acesso dos colaboradores a esta atividade, estimular o crescimento do capital intelectual na prática de vigilância sanitária hospitalar, padronizar conceitos e consolidar uma visão sistêmica do tratamento das não conformidades, buscando a melhoria da qualidade do registro e quantidade das notificações realizadas.
