PROGRAM SUMMARY
When a workplace incident occurs, the ensuing investigation provides an important opportunity to identify hazards, understand contributing factors, and prevent similar incidents from happening again. This webinar examines practical approaches to post-incident investigations in healthcare, emphasizing how organizations can move beyond documenting what happened to understanding why it happened and what can be done to prevent recurrence.
Participants will explore structured investigation strategies, methods for identifying contributing factors and root causes, and approaches for selecting effective corrective actions. Using healthcare-specific examples, the program will also highlight opportunities to integrate information from employee health, workers’ compensation, and workplace safety to identify emerging risks, strengthen prevention efforts, and improve employee safety outcomes.
