National Patient Safety Awareness Week is March 13-19 and you can help celebrate by sending a photo and summary of how you and your teams keep people safe to safety@imail.org. Photos and summaries will be shared throughout Intermountain publications and the top three entries will win a special prize.
Examples of possible entries include two nurses checking a medication, an EVS worker cleaning a floor with proper caution signage in place, or anything else that signifies a good safety practice. Safety is everywhere and applies to everyone.
How to submit an entry:
- Take a photo of how you or your team keep people safe.
- Please follow proper PHI procedures with your photo.
- No patient faces or patient identification allowed.
- Ensure all individuals in the photo have signed a release form.
- Include the release form(s) in your email.
- Summarize your photo in one to two sentences.
- Feel free to share what safety means to you.
- Email all the above information to Safety@imail.org.
We look forward to your entries, seeing you and your team in your element. Send questions to safety@imail.org.
