Health care is life-saving, but it can also be dangerous. In the U.S., thousands of patients die every year as a result of avoidable mistakes in health care, while many more are left injured or permanently disabled. Even with the most skilled providers, unexpected events or system breakdowns can lead to error.
Since our founding, Ariadne Labs has worked to develop process-driven innovations that make it easier for systems and clinicians to deliver safe, quality care. Through solutions like checklists, coaching, and data feedback, we help systems prepare for both routine procedures and unexpected events. And, when harm does occur, we strive to ensure that systems are equipped to respond to and learn from errors.
