Why SafeStart?

Heart Icon
Eliminate Never Events

Never Events are unacceptable and cause great harm to patients as well as negatively impacting doctors, nurses, and their facilities.

SafeStart is designed to eliminate wrong patient, wrong procedure, and wrong site Never Events by using enhanced and vetted clinical information.

SafeStart
Increase Patient Engagement

Engaged patients lead to improved health outcomes, better patient care, and lower costs.

SafeStart is designed to include patients and their families in the safety process.

SafeStart
Reduce Delays and Cancellations

Delays and cancellations in the operating room disrupt patient flow, increase operational costs, and raise patient anxiety.

SafeStart's comprehensive patient safety document set is vetted multiple times before the patient arrives at the pre-operative area - streamlining the safety process so procedures can start on time.
