Tiered huddle systems (THS) include staff at all levels of the organization- frontline healthcare workers, managers, directors, and executives- and have been shown to increase adverse event reporting and improve safety culture.

Based on an interrupted time series analysis, reporting increased for total safety events, including near misses.
