How do I contribute to the Environment of Care?
Any hospital, regardless of its size or location, faces
risks in the environment, including those associated with safety and security,
fire, hazardous materials and waste, medical equipment, and utility systems.
When staff are educated about the elements of a safe environment, they are more
likely to follow processes for identifying, reporting, and taking action on
environmental risks.What is UTMB's role in the realm of the Environment of Care?UTMB is committed to proactively minimizing risk to
