Culture of Safety Survey open through Oct. 31; your feedback is important!

System Updates

As a reminder, the online Culture of Safety Survey is open through Saturday, Oct. 31, for our hospital-based team members.

Workplace violence continues to affect healthcare workers across the country and here at Ballad Health. In 2025, reported workplace violence incidents at Ballad Health increased nearly 19%.

Creating a safe environment for our patients and team members takes all of us. Ballad Health is partnering with the Tennessee Hospital Association to conduct the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality’s Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSPOS).

The survey is open through Oct. 31 and takes just 10-15 minutes to complete. Your feedback will help identify what we’re doing well and where we can strengthen patient and team member safety.

Please complete the survey by Oct. 31 — and encourage your direct reports and fellow team members to participate. Strong participation is critical to giving us an accurate picture of our safety culture.
