Figure 1. Percentage of Nurses by Hospital that Graded Safety as Poor.

Figure 1

Methods: This figure provides descriptive statistics on the percentage of hospital nurses (n=1875 nurses) in each hospital (n=177 hospitals) that graded safety as poor (i.e. a C, D, or F overall safety grade). Hospitals were categorized into children’s hospitals (blue bars), or general hospitals with pediatric services (grey bars). Results: Thirty six percent (n=63) of hospitals had zero pediatric nurses rating safety as poor, and 64% (n=114) had some percentage of nurses rating safety as poor. The variation was 20%-100% of nurses responding. Children’s hospitals are distributed throughout the range, with only one containing zero nurses reporting a poor safety grade.
