Patient Safety Programs

Building Systems That Protect Every Patient, Every Day

We build the patient safety programs, Root Cause Analysis processes, and safety cultures that prevent harm before it happens — and respond effectively when it does.

Patient safety events — from near-misses to serious harm — happen in healthcare organizations of every type and size. What separates high-performing organizations is not that errors never occur, but that they have systems to catch errors before they reach patients, and a culture that learns from every event rather than looking for someone to blame. Without these systems, the same types of events keep happening — because the root causes are never truly addressed.

 
 

Summit QCG builds patient safety programs that are genuinely effective — not just documentable. We facilitate Root Cause Analyses after serious events, measure your safety culture using validated tools, design safety programs aligned with TJC’s National Patient Safety Goals, and build the reporting systems that tell you where your risks are before a patient is harmed.

 
 

We facilitate Root Cause Analysis

When a serious safety event occurs, we lead your RCA process using a systems-focused approach that identifies root causes — not just people to blame — and produces action plans that actually prevent recurrence.

We measure your safety culture

Using the AHRQ Survey on Patient Safety Culture, we identify where your team feels safe to speak up and where they do not — so you know exactly where to invest.

We build your patient safety program

We design safety programs aligned with TJC National Patient Safety Goals, CMS requirements, and best practices — covering falls, medication safety, pressure injuries, communication, and more.

We strengthen your safety reporting

Organizations with strong safety cultures report near-misses at rates many times higher than serious events. We build the reporting systems and the culture that make this possible.

We support your safety committee

For organizations that We help you structure your safety committee meetings, facilitate meaningful discussion, and ensure that safety concerns are tracked, escalated, and resolved. want to stay survey-ready year-round, we offer monthly retainer programs that keep you prepared every day.

The Result

Fewer serious safety events, a team that reports and learns, and a safety culture that surveyors recognize and respect.
