The Journey to Zero program can help create a culture of safety that benefits your patients, nurses, and your organization. The program offers products and services to help improve safe patient handling and nurse safety while addressing staffing issues.
Building a culture of safety starts with reducing injury risk. Our goal is to achieve zero harm for healthcare workers – which helps improve retention rates and outcomes and makes hospitals a safer place for everyone.
The Journey to Zero program includes customized services and specialized assistive devices to help reduce the risk of injury and improve outcomes.
Prior to implementation, your dedicated sales representative will work with staff to accurately define current practices and determine goals.
In addition to product demonstrations, we offer educational opportunities to help staff gain knowledge and skills on a variety of topics.
Post-implementation, we’ll help you assess your utilization rates and patient outcomes, and track your return on investment.
