Hospital Staff Injuries: The Real Costs
Christy Foster, Director, Healthcare, BSI EHS Services and Solutions will outline how many healthcare organizations have not realized the true cost of worker injuries, and as a result may not fully recognize the need and value of investing in solutions -- programs, equipment, materials and design -- that help reduce these injuries.
This presentation will explore the real and hidden expenses associated with the costliest healthcare related injuries. It will also provide insight into how to build a business case for investing in staff injury prevention for senior management. Learn how leading organizations are implementing effective programs and design solutions to reduce costs quickly.
