# Performance Health Partners alternatives: what to weigh > Considering a move from Performance Health Partners? What to look for in an alternative, who each option suits, and how migration works. Source: https://incidentkit.ai/alternatives/performance-health-partners ยท Updated Oct 5, 2026 **Performance Health Partners**: Event reporting and quality software for healthcare, with rounding, audits, peer review and surveys, plus high touch service. Performance Health Partners (PHP) sells software for incident and event reporting, digital rounding, compliance audits, peer review and patient surveys. Event Reporting is its core product. Its site lists settings that overlap with surgery centers and post acute care: ASCs, long term care, skilled nursing, home health, hospice, behavioral health, community health centers and hospitals. KLAS ranked PHP first in its category in 2026, the fourth year running. PHP joined Sentact in December 2025. **Best for:** Hospitals (including critical access), community health centers, ASCs, long term care, home health, hospice and behavioral and addiction treatment. Also government and correctional settings. **Ownership:** Acquired in December 2025 by Sentact, which also bought the Vizient Patient Safety Organization. Sentact's own ownership is not disclosed in the announcement. **Scale (company-reported):** PHP's home page (read 2026-10-05) says more than 100,000 healthcare professionals use its incident software. Sentact's December 2025 announcement says the Vizient PSO bought with PHP has 332 participating organizations. That is a PSO figure, not PHP's customer count. ## Pricing - **Model:** Priced by quote and sold through sales. Training is described as included, with no extra fees. - **Published:** no - No prices are published. A February 2025 announcement says PHP joined CommonWealth Purchasing Group's network of 800+ member organizations, with no discounts stated. In KLAS's 2025 interviews, 100 percent of PHP customers asked (n=29) said it avoids charging for every little thing. That is opinion, not a price list. ## Feature comparison | Feature | IncidentKit | Performance Health Partners | | --- | --- | --- | | Self-serve start | Yes: Start free and report your first incident the same day. | No: Public path is a demo request.
