Margaret Dimond, PhD, is president and CEO of McLaren Oakland, a 328-bed acute care provider serving all of Oakland County, Michigan. McLaren Oakland is in Pontiac, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit, and serves patients from diverse socio-economic, racial, and ethnic backgrounds.
In this episode, Dr. Dimond talks about the challenges of ensuring team member safety before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. She discusses the critical role of communication in providing a lifeline to security resources and in connecting care team members across disciplines and locations, which is equally critical – especially when infection control protocols prevent easy mobility. Dr. Dimond closes with a look ahead to the broader implications for team member safety and wellbeing in the aftermath of COVID-19.
