Beyond Traditional Healthcare Journalism

​​SafeCare goes beyond traditional healthcare journalism by examining the quality, safety, cost, technology, and performance of healthcare delivery. Its coverage spans hospitals and health systems, healthcare costs, leadership, health IT, artificial intelligence, medical devices and drugs, pandemics, and issues affecting patients and communities around the world. 

Consumer-Oriented Perspective

​SafeCare also provides a consumer-oriented perspective on hospital quality through its 100 SafeCare Hospitals initiative, which enables consumers to find and compare quality of care among approximately 5,000 accredited hospitals, including VA and military hospitals. Its annual SafeCare Hospital of the Year recognizes the hospital that performs best according to holistic, evidence-based metrics. ​

​Through its SafeCare World coverage, the magazine places U.S. healthcare within a broader international context, examining differences in health outcomes, healthcare performance, and cost. Its magazine archive preserves cover stories dating back to 2015, while its video platform extends the publication's reach into visual journalism and commentary.

​By combining investigative healthcare journalism, hospital quality information, technology and AI coverage, healthcare cost analysis, and global perspectives, SafeCare seeks to give healthcare professionals, patients, policymakers, and the public the information they need to understand—and ultimately improve—the healthcare system.

Emerging Technology and Healthcare

​​A particular focus is the use of artificial intelligence and emerging technology to improve healthcare, alongside critical examination of how technology, medications, medical devices, and industry practices affect patient safety and outcomes. Its Devices & Drugs coverage, for example, addresses subjects ranging from hospital software purchasing, smart surgical devices to medication safety, counterfeit drugs, opioids, drug pricing, and the relationships between Group Purchasing Organizations (GPOs) and healthcare.
