Our hospital leaders understand that hospitals can be dangerous workplaces. Hospital environments are unique and the daily work involves risks that are inherent to caring for the sick.
– Patient lifting
– Exposure to communicable disease
– Use of sharp medical devices
– Violence related injury that can occur when caring for at-risk populations, such as patients with dementia or serious psychiatric illness
Making workforce safety a priority helps to cultivate a safe work environment, which is proven to result in better patient care and a secure, more rewarding work experience.
Member hospitals will be the gold standard in hospital worker safety – preventing injuries, saving money and leading the nation in innovative, healthy solutions for our valued workforce.
The “We Have Your Back” initiative will include five focus areas:
– Preventing physical injuries
– Needlestick and communicable disease prevention
– Bolstering hospital security
– Finding solutions to reduce work stress, fatigue, and burnout
– Caring for our caregivers, including injury support and reintegration into the workforce
Hospital leaders in Florida are making quality and safety a priority – and that leadership is resulting in significant year after year reductions in harm and improved patient outcomes.
