LEXINGTON, KY, USA, February 23, 2020. The SafeCare Group achieved another major milestone for a startup business by celebrating 10 years in successful business operation. The information technology firm has grown into a healthcare analytics powerhouse with SafeCareSoft and SafeCare AI.
“It’s been a long and challenging journey to make it to the 10-year mark after having started with nothing but a laptop and a vision,” says Yisrael M Safeek, MD, MBA, Founder & CEO of The SafeCare Group.
“I take great pride in what we have accomplished over the last decade. For me, the significance of this milestone is more than just keeping the lights on – it’s about fixing a broken US health system that destroys human lives. To say that I am grateful and humbled would be an enormous understatement. I am so grateful to all of the people who supported us along the way.”
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Business Employment Dynamics, less than 30% (less than ⅓) of all startups ever reach the 10-year mark.
It is quite the accomplishment for the company to reach the 10-year milestone considering it has operated the way it started - debt free with no loans.
Even more significant, the company was launched in 2010 at the height of the Great Recession when companies were firing employees and closing their doors.
In 2010, Dr. Safeek hired a team of software developers and programmers to develop custom Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications. In 2013, the company created the EMR-based PulseChex software for clinical integration, which allowed it to analyze data and publish ratings and rankings on more than 4,500 different US hospitals.
100 SafeCare Hospitals site was up in 2013. The consumer-oriented service helps consumers make informed decisions about their health care. The Star Ratings include quality measures for the routine care an individual receives when being treated for heart attacks and pneumonia to quality measures that focus on hospital-acquired infections and hospital-acquired complications.
Based upon hospitals performance trends, the company in 2014 launched a new EMR-based SaaS to satisfy Joint Commission’s physician privileging requirements OPPERA, and another SaaS to help hospitals with Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Hospital Value Based Program (HVBP) ValueTrax I.
By 2015, the company released SafeCare magazine to share important healthcare quality information to the general public and key healthcare stakeholders. The company also released another EMR-based SaaS for the CMS Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP) ValueTrax II. This was followed in 2016 by yet another EMR-based SaaS for the CMS Hospital Acquired Conditions Reduction Program (HACRP) ValueTrax III.
More importantly, in 2016 the firm moved aggressively into the artificial intelligence (AI) space via emulation of intelligence and applying machine learning, deep learning and artificial neural networks to EMR data. SafeCare AI was born.
In 2017, the firm released its seven point plan to fixing a broken US healthcare system, and this was submitted to the White House. A year later, The SafeCare Group released its 2018 US Hospitals Performance Report, tracking hospital performance in quality, safety, and efficiency over the last five years.
Just last year, the company kick-started America's healthcare revolution with AI platforms that predict patient outcomes and offer real-time, clinical decision support, based on dynamic exploitation and immediate statistical analysis of EMR information. There are now seven AI platforms to:
• Predict Sepsis Progression;
• Prevent Hospital Infections;
• Reduce Inpatient Mortality;
• Lower Hospital Charges;
• Reduce Redundant Hospital Care;
• Cut Avoidable Readmissions.
At the end of 2019, the firm released its Patient Ratings Application – Rate A Hospital – for patients to connect with great hospitals by sharing actual first-hand care experiences with hospitals.
The SafeCare Group looks forward to many more anniversary celebrations in the future as its footprint continues to grow as a leader in innovative and creative solutions for healthcare quality, safety, and efficiency with clients across the United States and strategic partnerships overseas.

LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY, USA, January 3, 2018. The SafeCare Group® which develops and licenses SafeCare Analytics® software applications that optimize hospital reimbursement and accreditation, announced today that November 25, 2017 marked the 5th anniversary since its first 100 SafeCare Hospitals® release https://www.100safecarehospitals.com/
Since 2013, the motto is “Recognizing Healthcare Excellence®” and 100 SafeCare Hospitals® represent 100 hospitals with low readmissions, infections, and complications. Because of The SafeCare Group’s commitment of “Softwaring Healthcare Excellence®”, the 100 SafeCare Hospitals support improvement in healthcare quality through disruptive, holistic metrics and innovative technology. Further, 100 SafeCare Hospitals listing is fulfilling its mission of incentivizing doctors, nurses and hospitals to improve care and reducing unnecessary errors that harm patients.
“It’s been an exciting past five years,” said Yisrael Safeek, MD, MBA, Chairman and CEO, The SafeCare Group, “Our 100 SafeCare Hospitals listing is truly disruptive to the healthcare status quo. Consider the following:
• 100 SafeCare Hospitals did not rely solely on hospital process measures to assess hospital performance - we were proven right when some of these were debunked.
• Likewise, 100 SafeCare Hospitals did not rely on hospital reputation to assess hospital performance - we felt this was subjective and unscientific.
• Similarly, 100 SafeCare Hospitals did not rely solely on hospital complications to assess hospital performance - we felt this was incomplete and conjecture.
• Rather, 100 SafeCare Hospitals utilized a holistic, evidence-based framework consisting of quality, safety, and efficiency metrics.”
“As we celebrate these past five years, we realize 100 SafeCare Hospitals would not have been possible without the confidence and support of our subscribing hospitals. We’ve also taken the time to look ahead to the future to ways we can contribute even more to making American healthcare better.”
Over the last five years, 100 SafeCare Hospitals® has celebrated impressive accomplishments:
• November 2013 - Released first listing
• December 2014 - Added ranking to our listings
• December 2015 – Offered 38 page QAPI Report to our services
• December 2015 – Offered press coverage in SafeCare magazine
• December 2017 - To commemorate 100 SafeCare Hospitals 5th anniversary, The SafeCare Group has released a celebratory logo to be used in conjunction with the standard product badge.
