We exist for the greater good
Fixing a broken US health system through more choices, lower costs, and better care.
Medical errors are the third leading cause of deaths after heart disease and cancer. Each year, an estimated quarter of a million patients (range 250,000 - 440,000) die from medical errors. Millions more are affected from shabby care, bad treatments, and poor services from healthcare providers.
Hospital stays are expensive - adding up to more than $3.3 trillion a year. There is no standard system that determines what a hospital charges for a particular service or procedure. So, we created our site to help patients see how their hospital compare with others.

While others talked, we listened
We listened to the numerous emails and letters of complaints, suggestions, and feedback from patients and have compiled a list of stories that stirred our readers to action to improve a process of care, or get involved in a cause, or in some cases provoked a solution to a healthcare problem.
SafeCare® was founded in 2015 and has delivered information to patients, caregivers, health providers, and healthcare's decision makers. We supplied stories and articles that gave additional information on the people, ideas, and novel technologies affecting access, cost, quality, and safety of healthcare across the globe.
