Nursing Homes that have administered AHRQ’s Nursing Home Survey on Patient Safety Culture can submit their data to the Database June 1-21, 2018. The results of this database, a Nursing Home User Database Report, will provide average scores and percentiles on the survey items and composites to help nursing homes assess their own results to identify strengths and opportunities for improvement. Nursing Homes must have licensed nursing home beds and be located in the U.S. or U.S. territories in order to submit.

Nursing homes that have not previously administered the survey may still do so prior to June 2018 data submission. The survey and toolkit materials are available at https://www.ahrq.gov/sops/quality-patient-safety/patientsafetyculture/nursing-home/index.html

Data submission information is available at https://www.ahrq.gov/sops/quality-patient-safety/patientsafetyculture/nursing-home/resources/nhdbsubmissions.html.
