Set up a Microsoft Viva Glint Patient Safety survey

Many healthcare customers use the Microsoft Viva Glint Patient Safety Survey to assess and improve their patient safety culture. This Viva Glint survey template is approved as a reliable measure of patient culture by The Leapfrog Group, among the most succinct Leapfrog-approved safety surveys currently available. Seamlessly integrated with Viva Glint, Patient Safety survey insights are designed to provide healthcare leaders with pertinent information in real-time.

The Leapfrog Group (Leapfrog), established in 2000, serves as America's voice for patient safety, quality, and transparency. Leapfrog collects and reports one-of-a-kind data to empower patients and purchasers to choose the right hospital or surgery center.
