Understanding hospital culture is important to effectively manage patient flow. The purpose of this study was to develop a survey instrument that can assess a hospital's culture related to in-hospital transitions in care.

Findings indicate 8 themes associated with hospital culture-mediating transitions. Forty-four items reflect the themes.
