Solving for Safety Challenges in At-Risk Environments
Valley View Hospital is located in a remote, mountainous Colorado town and is accessible by one major highway. Mudslides, wildfires, and winter weather are prevalent in the area and often shut down the highway for prolonged periods of time, hindering access to the hospital.
In this episode, two safety leaders from Valley View Hospital, Josh Anderson, Manager of Safety, Security, and Emergency Management, and Stacey Gavrell, Chief Community Relations Officer, join us to discuss how they manage patient and employee safety in this at-risk environment.
We discuss:
- The unique challenges with Valley View Hospital’s location
- How to gain leadership buy-in for tools used to improve safety and communication
- Why after action reports are crucial for preparedness
