American Data Network Patient Safety Organization (ADNPSO) organized a 45-Hospital Good Catch Campaign focused on near miss reporting.

In a comprehensive patient safety data analysis conducted by ADNPSO, the event type “Other” revealed critical insights, showing a death rate 3 times higher than all other patient safety event categories combined. This analysis sheds light on the hidden risks within the “Other” event category, emphasizing the importance of detailed data collection and categorization to improve patient outcomes.

Six months after the Good Catch Campaign, ADNPSO’s participating hospitals boosted Near Miss reporting by 47%, demonstrating the critical impact of sharing and studying near miss events to drive patient safety improvements. Here’s a snapshot of the key results from the campaign follow-up.
