A Global Surgical Patient-Safety Project to Prevent Retained Surgical Items (RSI)
This is a project to develop and disseminate evidence and experience-based practices for the prevention of Retained Surgical Items (RSI). RSI are generally considered to be "never events" and the hope is to make that a truth. The foundational problem resides in the human perception of infallibility that is in contrast to the reality of human behaviors. The work is in the analysis of clinical events and the results lie in the understanding of human factors and its application to solutions. The strategies, practices and thought modules within are the deliverables of the project. The name of the project - NoThing Left Behind® - is a registered trademark and original materials are copyrighted. They are available here, at no charge, to be used for knowledge acquisition, system-wide clinical improvement and the prevention of patient harm.
It's hard to "get it" but worthy of the effort.
This is a long form text area designed for your content that you can fill up with as many words as your heart desires. You can write articles, long mission statements, company policies, executive profiles, company awards/distinctions, office locations, shareholder reports, whitepapers, media mentions and other pieces of content that don’t fit into a shorter, more succinct space.
Articles – Good topics for articles include anything related to your company – recent changes to operations, the latest company softball game – or the industry you’re in. General business trends (think national and even international) are great article fodder, too.
Mission statements – You can tell a lot about a company by its mission statement. Don’t have one? Now might be a good time to create one and post it here. A good mission statement tells you what drives a company to do what it does.
Company policies – Are there company policies that are particularly important to your business? Perhaps your unlimited paternity/maternity leave policy has endeared you to employees across the company. This is a good place to talk about that.
Executive profiles – A company is only as strong as its executive leadership. This is a good place to show off who’s occupying the corner offices. Write a nice bio about each executive that includes what they do, how long they’ve been at it, and what got them to where they are.
This is a content preview space you can use to get your audience interested in what you have to say so they can’t wait to learn and read more. Pull out the most interesting detail that appears on the page and write it here.
