- Best for
- Hospitals and health systems, with deployment across many facilities. No surgery center, nursing home or home health package was found.
- Ownership
- Backed by Clearlake Capital Group and Charlesbank Capital Partners, per symplr's April 2026 announcement of a new chief executive.
- Scale (company-reported)
- symplr's home page (read 2026-10-05) says it is trusted in 9 of 10 hospitals and by 400+ health plans. That covers all symplr products, not symplr Safety alone.
- Pricing model
- Priced by quote and sold through sales. Calls to action are 'see it in action' and 'schedule a conversation'. (not published). No pricing appears on the symplr Safety page. symplr sells workforce, credentialing, compliance and quality as separate lines, so ask what a Safety quote includes.
What to weigh
Where symplr is strong
- One vendor for much of hospital operations (workforce, credentialing, compliance, quality) beside safety.
- A full incident lifecycle is described, from capture and root cause analysis to corrective actions and committee reports.
- Claims integration and deployment across many facilities are stated capabilities.
- KLAS surveyed 36 organizations about symplr Quality Suite (Midas Health Analytics) in 2025, the second largest sample after RLDatix.

Trade-offs to consider
- Little public detail on Safety: SSO, API, BAA, OSHA, AI at intake and QAPI reporting are not described.
- No published pricing. Buying goes through sales.
- Enterprise hospital focus. No package for surgery centers, nursing homes, home health or hospice was found.
- Safety is one of many product lines. No satisfaction data for symplr Safety by name was found in the KLAS table.
- Positioned on its broader operations platform, so an incident only team should confirm scope.
