Safety First Training Coming Soon

The progress we have seen in reducing serious safety events, reducing hospital-acquired conditions and reducing mortality at WellStar can be attributed to many things, but Safety First training is high on the list. 

Medical staff rules and regulations call for Safety First training to be refreshed every two years.

Safety First Training - Version 3 will be available in November with a computer-based learning module for all providers through SuccessFactors Learning. In January 2013, live presentations of Safety First Training will be held at all hospitals, led by the hospital presidents, chief nursing officers and the presidents of the medical staff at each facility. In February, there will be unit-based simulation exercises at every facility, which also will fulfill the Safety First training requirement. 

All providers will be expected to complete Safety Training - Version 3 in one of the formats above by April 15, 2013. 

As we complete the fifth year of our Safety First journey, it has become clear that we need for all team members to be on the same page in regards to safety. Safety First Training - Version 3 will be offered to all clinical employees at WellStar and they will participate in the same learning exercises that are available to the medical staff and allied health professionals.  In the spring of 2013, a modified version of Safety First Training will be available for all non-clinical WellStar team members.

Look for details on how you can complete your Safety First Training to be sent to you soon and to be available on the Safety First web page on eSource.
