Patient Safety

Be a Partner in YOUR Safety! Because your safety is very important to us, your entire Care Team will be focused on keeping you safe. With you and your family's help, we can do an even better job of providing safe care.

Safety First: Make Safety a Priority in Your Day, is a program for inpatients that includes a 12-minute video, a safety poster in your room, and a safety handout for you to read. Your Care Team will review the details of our safety program as part of your admission process.

Safety First: Infection Prevention Tips is a handout that provides useful information about protecting yourself from infections.

We will also ask questions to see if you are at risk for falling, and explain what we will do to help prevent falls. One important way is to always ask for help when getting out of bed.
