ORCAB is a European funded research program that seeks to highlight the role of hospital organisational culture and physician burnout in promoting patient safety and quality of care. The objectives were (i) to profile the specific factors of hospital-organisational culture that increase burnout among physicians and therefore decrease quality of care, (ii) to monitor burnout and its associations to quality of hospital care among physicians, (iii) to identify appropriate bottom-up solutions to the problems of organisational culture and physician burnout, and its impact upon patient safety and quality of care, and (iv) To develop a network for hospital managers and associated stakeholders for the communication of interventions aimed improving quality of care in hospitals.
