There, he led a 35% reduction in serious safety events while simultaneously increasing event reporting rates by 15%. He presented this work at the Institute for Healthcare Improvement’s 2025 national meeting. During that same period, 95% of CommonSpirit Health’s California hospitals achieved an “A” or “B” Leapfrog hospital safety grade, and the California region was awarded best performing region for safety and quality by the CommonSpirit Health board in 2025. Dr. Testa also leads Sentact’s patient safety organization and external peer review service, overseeing a network of more than 450 physician reviewers.
