Patient safety improvement
Your safety plan names the priorities. Show what's changing.
Prep Medics runs the improvement work behind each priority and shows whether it's working. It sits alongside your safety event reporting system, which stays exactly as it is.
the same priorities as your patient safety plan, sorted for you
Sound familiar?
The plan is written. Is anything changing?
-
The plan is a spreadsheet
Each priority's safety improvement plan lives in a different file, owned by a different person, last updated in March.
-
Actions get closed, not checked
The action is marked done. Nobody re-audits six months later to see whether it stuck.
-
"Is anything changing?"
The board and the patient safety committee ask. The answer is a list of activity, not a chart showing harm going down.
How it fits
Your event reporting system keeps the safety events. We run the improvement.
Nothing changes in how safety events are reported or reviewed. Only reference numbers and counts come across, never patient details. Progress goes back the other way.
Your safety event reporting system
- Safety events reported and reviewed
- Response chosen from your safety plan

No gaps
No priority without a plan.
See at a glance which priorities have work answering them and which don't. Start a project, an audit or a repeating audit straight from the priority, already linked.

Evidence
Show harm going down, not just activity.
Each priority's incidents are charted month by month, so a real change stands out from a quiet month. Repeating audits check that changes have stuck, long after the action was closed.

Reporting
Progress back in one click.
Every project keeps an up-to-date progress line to paste into the safety action in your safety event reporting system. For the board, download a progress pack for each priority, in your health system's branding.
-
Staff learn what changed
Finished work becomes a short showcase with a quick check, and unit screens show the change being tested. The learning reaches the people who need it.
-
Nobody sorts anything twice
Where your export already records the patient safety priority, we use it. Otherwise safety events are grouped by category, set once when your plan changes.
-
No patient details
We take reference numbers, categories, harm, dates and departments. Descriptions that look like patient details are dropped before anything is sent.
Bring your safety plan and a safety event export.
