Customer Service and Laboratory Safety
Diane Davis, PhD, MLS(ASCP)cm, SCcm, SLScm , Program Director, Medial Laboratory Science Program Chair, Department of Health Sciences, Salisbury University | Bio
Many people approach safety in healthcare in a protocol driven way- comply with the regulations, make a standard protocol, discipline those who fail to follow standard procedure, etc. In a safety culture, laboratorians are viewed as thinking professionals who are educable and inherently want to do the right thing. Rules cannot be made for every possible situation, so the safest places have workers who analyze every work situation and feel comfortable identifying safety threats and offering solutions. Safety concerns are opportunities for learning and improving rather than blaming and disciplining. This talk will discuss laboratory and patient safety in the context of a facility that develops a safety culture and offer suggestions for creating a safety culture at the audience’s workplaces.
