"We talk about anything that folks are concerned about that maybe happened in the last 24 hours or anything looking ahead from a safety standpoint that they might be concerned about…staff safety, visitors’ safety and patient safety," Amy Black, chief nurse executive, said in the article. Then the group discusses possible solutions and sets a deadline for each resolution.
