Monument Health was able to increase its near-miss reporting by 334 percent thanks to its improved culture of safety and reporting system, according to the ECRI Nov. 7 press release. 

“We applaud Monument Health for advancing patient safety through increased reporting and other process improvements,” Dheerendra Kommala, MD, chief medical officer at ECRI, said in the release. “Their success is notable because it comes amidst the backdrop of a global pandemic that has been especially difficult for most healthcare safety teams.”
