Martha Jefferson Hospital in Charlottesville, N.C., holds a daily huddle to discuss a range of safety issues for patients, visitors and staff, according to an article on Newsplex.com. Employees from a range of departments  - from clinical to billing, meet every day about topics of concern

"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.
