The only way to really protect yourself, staff, and patients from danger is to be able to predict it before it occurs.
Unfortunately, this isn’t going to happen.
However, there is something you can do that is the next best thing…
Implementing a Hazard Vulnerability Assessment may seem like just one more thing you have on your plate, but the results of not doing one can be extremely serious when you consider what’s at stake. No one likes to think they could be a victim, but it happens every day (violence, theft, earthquake, flood, fire, etc.) unless you take steps to stop it.
Healthcare safety, security, and risk management expert, Steve Wilder, BA, CHSP, STS, spends his life helping practices just like yours identify where they are most vulnerable, and how to prepare for the worst. Being prepared and knowing how to respond is the key to your survival—and survival is no accident.
For the last 32 years, Steve has helped healthcare professionals protect themselves, their patients, and their coworkers. During his 60-minute online training session you’ll learn exactly how to improve your chances of survival should you ever end up in any number of hazardous situations.
Here are just a few of the proven, practical, realistic protection strategies you’ll receive by attending this expert-led Hazard Vulnerability Assessment 60-minute online training:
- Quickly identify your specific, most dangerous threats, and how to overcome them
- Pin down the most commonly missed vulnerabilities for your specific situation
- Determine how to find and employ CMS’s Hazard Vulnerability Assessment tool
- Interpret your Assessment results to develop your site-specific Emergency Operations Plan
- And so much more…
Who should attend: Physicians, NPPs, Nurses, Practice Managers, Safety Managers, Compliance Managers, and Front Desk Managers and Staff located in medical practices, clinics, hospitals, LTC facilities, dental practices, ASCs, SNFs, etc.
Unfortunately, your practice is not immune to danger, and closing your eyes and hoping it never happens is NOT the answer. With this proven Hazard Vulnerability Assessment model, you can hope for the best but be prepared for the worst.
So, don’t wait, sign up for this one-of-a-kind healthcare-specific training today.
