President's Message
By Joe Taylor, KSHE President
I’m so happy that cooler weather has arrived and that the “Summer of 2020” is behind us. I’m especially excited that our first EVER Healthcare Coalition Conference is still happening – even in the midst of a pandemic. Your KSHE Board is working very hard to put on a national-level, first-class virtual event, and it’s shaping up to be EPIC! At this writing there are nearly 350 attendees registered, which is THREE TIMES the number of people that usually attend our face-to-face events. I’m betting that by the start of the conference on Tuesday October 20th we will have over 500 hospital/healthcare registered attendees.

KSHE Vendor Representative – Sustainability
Beginning an energy reduction and sustainability journey may seem like a daunting task. There is a misconception that facilities that focus on reducing energy and sustainability could negatively impact the patients or clinical staff. The efforts can actually enhance patient safety and patient satisfaction. ASHE and the Energy to Care program have taken out the guess work of where to start with the Sustainability Guide that can be found at the following link.
Social Media
The orientation of technicians and contractors in healthcare is a patient safety issue that we should all be talking about. Help us get the word out, and let us know how Safe Day One has helped your facility. Please share your experiences with us at info@safedayone.org and follow us today!
