United States, 10th Jun 2025 – With over two decades of clinical leadership in Nigeria’s healthcare system, veteran nurse administrator Comfort Somiyewo has formally launched SafeFlow Clinical Management & Training Services, a Minnesota-based healthcare consultancy aiming to transform patient safety standards in underserved U.S. clinical settings.
Registered under the DBA SafeFlow Clinical Management & Training Services, the initiative reflects a proactive response to one of the nation’s most urgent yet under-addressed public health crises: preventable medical errors. According to a peer-reviewed study published in the Journal of Patient Safety, preventable medical errors contribute to an estimated 210,000 to 440,000 deaths annually in U.S. hospitals—placing them among the leading causes of death nationwide. SafeFlow delivers Integrated Clinical Management Systems (ICMS) that help vulnerable facilities transition from reactive care environments to structured, safety-oriented operations.
Somiyewo brings deep expertise from her tenure as Assistant Director of Nursing at Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) and Director of Nursing at Bomi Angel Specialist Hospital. In these roles, she led cross-disciplinary care systems, oversaw infection control compliance, and trained teams in Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) and Basic Life Support (BLS), aligning with global standards. Her extensive qualifications, including certifications in PALS, Food Safety, and Emergency Response, are now being applied to U.S. healthcare improvement efforts.
SafeFlow’s Services: A Systemic Model for Clinical Safety
SafeFlow offers a full suite of solutions for Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), Rural Health Clinics (RHCs), Urgent Care Facilities, and Long-term Care Centers. Core offerings include:
- Patient Safety Audits
- Incident Reporting and Root Cause Analysis Tools
- Clinical Staff Training Modules (ACLS/BLS/PALS-aligned)
- SOP Development for Medication Safety and Emergency Response
- Workflow Optimization for Nurse Leaders and Facility Managers

Each component is tailored to resource-limited settings that traditionally lack full-time safety officers, standardized handoffs, or real-time incident reporting systems. SafeFlow provides these services in modular formats—making them deployable in clinics of varying size and capacity.
National Alignment and Workforce Development
Somiyewo’s initiative is not just technically sound—it’s policy aligned. SafeFlow directly supports the strategic goals of:
- AHRQ’s Patient Safety Programs
- Healthy People 2030 Objectives
- HRSA’s Clinical Workforce Readiness Efforts
- Biden-Harris Health Equity Initiatives
By embedding ICMS into clinics that serve low-income, rural, and minority populations, SafeFlow helps these facilities comply with U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) reporting guidelines and reduces systemic disparities in care delivery.
Crucially, SafeFlow is also a job creator. The business model anticipates hiring U.S.-based staff across key roles:
- Clinical Trainers & Safety Educators
- Data Analysts for Tracking Safety Indicators
- Administrative & Community Outreach Coordinators
- Technical Writers & SOP Specialists
As the enterprise expands, Somiyewo plans to partner with state health departments and regional hospital systems, offering scalable programs for mobile and rural deployment. Within three years, SafeFlow is projected to employ or contract 5–10 U.S.-based professionals, creating not just safer clinics but sustainable career pathways in public health improvEment.
From Nigeria to Minnesota: A Cross-Continental Mission
Comfort Somiyewo’s professional journey spans continents—but her mission remains constant: safeguarding human life through systematized, compassionate care. She has already:
- Developed a draft ICMS framework and pilot training modules
- Adapted evidence-based SOPs from her Nigerian leadership roles for U.S. use
- Initiated stakeholder outreach to clinical directors and health educators across the Midwest
Her work has been recognized by the Nursing Services Department and CPD Committee of LUTH, affirming her capability not only to lead, but to innovate within global healthcare systems.
Looking Ahead
As U.S. healthcare systems contend with post-pandemic staffing shortages, rising operational risks, and widening equity gaps, SafeFlow Clinical Management & Training Services offers a forward-looking solution. The endeavor is not limited to any one facility—it is a scalable infrastructure for safety, aligned with national priorities and driven by a seasoned, mission-centered leader.
“It’s time to move from awareness to action,” Somiyewo emphasizes. “SafeFlow gives clinics the tools to do just that—safely, efficiently, and equitably.”
