This study examined the impact of safety climate and team processes on patient safety events occurring during intrahospital transport. The authors analyzed 858 transfers occurring over a 4-week period and assessed safety climate and team processes using standardized scales. After controlling for transport-, staff-, and ICU-related variables, the authors found that safety climate, team processes and transport training were associated with adverse events during intrahospital transport.
