Update Suppression Rate

USR

Definition

A diagnostic metric measuring the proportion of available feedback signals that fail to produce institutional update. USR = 1 - (Updates Implemented / Feedback Events Received). High USR indicates systematic suppression: the institution receives signals but doesn't change.

Formula

USR = 1 - (Updates / Feedback Events)

Example

A hospital receives 500 incident reports annually and implements changes in response to 50. USR = 0.90 (90% of feedback is suppressed). The hospital is learning-active but update-suppressed.
