This project examined patient safety attitudes of half the staff in the South Australian health system, capturing the views of 16,619 respondents, a 51.94% response rate.The indications are, therefore, that the South Australian health system is doing relatively well in addressing patient safety. Results provide sufficient evidence to suggest that South Australia is on the right track in its quest to tackle patient safety, but there is room for improvement, and further work to be done.
