Good Catch/Near Miss Campaign Toolkit

Near misses are widely regarded as one of the most powerful indicators of potential medical errors, yet they remain significantly underreported. In fact, research and ADN PSO data show that near misses represented only 6.8% of all events reported in 2016—far less than Unsafe Conditions or Incidents.

ADN PSO’s Good Catch Campaign in Arkansas proved how impactful focused reporting can be. Forty-five hospitals across the state participated, achieving 95% of the campaign goal and boosting Near Miss reporting by 47% over baseline. Together, these facilities averaged an additional 246 near miss reports per month during the campaign.

To help your organization replicate this success, we’ve developed a comprehensive toolkit that provides everything you need to run your own hospital good catch program. Whether you're just getting started or looking to enhance an existing initiative, this toolkit offers valuable resources to drive near miss reporting and patient safety improvement.
