Background: The impact of hospital accreditation on the organizational safety culture among healthcare workers, an essential indicator of patient safety, has yet to be directly quantified in Saudi Arabia's healthcare system. This study aims to investigate this impact to sustain and maintain a positive safety culture in Saudi Arabia's healthcare institutions. Methods: A cross-sectional assessment was conducted in five public hospitals in Makkah. Three hundred forty healthcare workers participated using a self-administered questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, ANOVA, one-sample t-test, and multiple regression for a comprehensive understanding. Results and Discussion: Regression analysis revealed significant gender differences in patient safety ratings (B = 0.480, p < 0.001). Age positively influenced scores, with higher ages resulting in higher scores (B = 0.127, p = 0.041). The ratings were also associated with respondents' nationality (B = 0.169, p < 0.001) and education levels (B = -0.186, p < 0.001). Respondents rated disasters and training as the highest in patient safety culture, followed by facility safety and security, hazards and hazardous materials safety, utility and building safety, fire safety, and quality improvement. At the same time, leadership, commitment, and support received the lowest score. Conclusion: This study illustrates a strong connection between accreditation and improved patient safety, emphasizing the importance of quality improvement and leadership commitment. These insights can guide policymakers and healthcare executives in Saudi Arabia and similar countries toward developing a robust patient safety culture. It stresses the importance of considering human factors and organizational culture when developing patient safety models.
