Hospital Safety & Security Seminar

September 26th-27th, 2019

 

When your hospital accepts a patient, you not only take on the responsibility for treating them, you also accept the responsibility for their safety and security while they are in your care. A recent study by Leap Frog identified four major concerns for patients and family members when being admitted into the hospital.

·         Fear of the diagnoses

·         Not having time with the health care providers (physicians and nurses)

·         Being given the wrong medication

·         Having the wrong procedure performed
