Implement a Good Catch Campaign

A Good Catch campaign is an incentive-based program that fosters a growing culture of safety by encouraging the recognition and reporting of risk before a patient is harmed. Such a campaign offers organizations opportunities to significantly increase near miss reporting, reveal process and system vulnerabilities, and develop and implement proactive data-driven improvement activities. This toolkit developed by ADNPSO will provide you with a host of materials to run your own Good Catch Campaign.
