Learn from what happened. Prove you're ready for what could.
Root connects every incident and every risk to the evidence that your fixes and controls are working, from the audits your teams already run.
Incident reporting and risk management, on one platform with your audits.

the question
Are your controls actually working?
Your safety data lives in pieces: incidents in one system, the risk register in another, audits in a third. You can see what went wrong, and what might. But what you really want to know is whether the fixes and controls you put in place are working. That's the question boards keep asking, and you want to answer it with evidence, not judgement.

Is the control working?
Members sought "greater assurance that controls are delivering measurable improvements and reducing risk exposure."
With incidents separate from its risk programme, a US health system couldn't see "which controls were most effective and where to provide additional resources."

Incidents become lessons
Every reporter hears back, incidents are clustered into themes, and fixes target the system, not the person.
Audits prove the fix
The audits your teams already run confirm whether practice changed. A fix that doesn't hold is raised as a risk.
Risks carry their evidence
Every control in the risk register links to the audits that test it and the incidents that got past it, so assurance comes from data, not opinion.
Not just what happened and what could. Whether what you've done is working.

Incident reporting
Incident counts don't measure safety. Improvement does.
Every reporter hears back, and every incident becomes a lasting fix.
