Signals for Safety

As we continue to stress our system through high census, acuity, etc, we are looking at signals or thresholds that would serve as proxies for the overall safety of our organization. Like many of you, we track a variety of metrics and respond as necessary, but does anyone have a system in place to signal you when there is a drift towards unsafe territory? Any ideas are appreciated.
