In 2015, as part of a larger evaluation of the Health Quality & Safety Commission’s work, the Commission contracted researchers at Victoria University of Wellington and the University of Otago to undertake a health professionals’ perceptions of quality survey with health professionals in New Zealand’s district health boards (DHBs).
The aims were to assess the quality and safety cultures in New Zealand’s DHBs and to explore the extent to which health professionals working in DHBs were aware of the Commission’s work. This report sets out the quantitative findings from the survey.
