The command center for preventable harm you haven't seen yet.
Sentinel turns incident reports, near-misses, and compliance audits into real-time safety intelligence — so your next Joint Commission survey is the easiest one you've ever had.
Medication reconciliation gap — patient transferred without updated allergy flag
Fall risk assessment skipped during shift change handoff protocol
Surgical timeout checklist incomplete — caught by circulating nurse
Contrast administration without allergy screening — patient stable
IV pump programming error caught before infusion started
of sentinel events share a missed near-miss in the prior 14 days.

Pattern Recognition Engine
Correlates near-miss reports across departments in real time. When a medication reconciliation gap appears in three units within 72 hours, Sentinel flags the systemic pattern — not just the individual events.
Cross-Department Linking
Events in the ED don't live in isolation from OR outcomes. Sentinel maps causal chains across your entire facility — connecting the handoff failure to the downstream harm that follows two shifts later.
Anonymous Rapid Reporting
Staff report in under 90 seconds from any device. Psychological safety defaults are on — no punitive flags, no supervisor notification without explicit escalation. More reports means better signal.
Root Cause Acceleration
Sentinel pre-populates RCA templates with the contributing factors it has already identified from the event data. Your team validates and adds context instead of starting from a blank page at 2 AM.

We had a sentinel event in March. Sentinel showed me the three near-misses in the prior week that pointed directly to the same workflow gap. We would have never connected those dots manually.
Joint Commission walked in on a Tuesday at 7 AM. My survey readiness dashboard showed 91 the night before. We passed with zero citations for the first time in six years. I didn't sleep anyway, but at least I knew why.
My CNO asked me to prove our safety culture wasn't performative. I pulled up Sentinel on the conference room screen and showed twelve months of near-miss trends, RCA completion rates, and corrective action closure times. The conversation changed.
