Patient safety is an important current issue, due to
the negative repercussions that can occur when
things go wrong in a medical setting. In their Third
Annual Patient Safety in American Hospitals Report
(2006), HealthGrades estimated that 304,702 people
died from medical errors between 2002-2004.
Organizational climate has been shown capable of
influencing many different outcomes,
including some critical to patient safety. There is
a dearth of research specifically studying how
climate factors for nurses in particular relate to
patient safety outcomes, and the current effort
helps to close that research gap. This study
examined how climate factors relate to the patient
safety outcome of medication errors. Quarterly
attitude data from nurses in eight hospitals were
aggregated to the organizational level of analysis
to represent organizational climate. Accurate
archival figures were used to measure
medication errors. The results speak to the
importance of an organization being congruent in its
communication and implementation of policies and
procedures that affect one’s daily working life.
