The Economic Value of Employee WellbeingCBIZ, Inc.
Employers are increasingly focusing on employee wellbeing programs to improve health, reduce costs, and boost productivity. Research shows that wellbeing programs can be effective when implemented successfully. Even employers with insured health plans benefit from improved employee engagement and performance. To address rising costs and lagging productivity, employers must prioritize wellbeing. Effective programs focus on education, healthy lifestyles, and reducing health risks. Leaders should designate wellbeing teams, create strategic plans, and use data to drive initiatives that engage all employees. Prioritizing wellbeing can boost engagement and the overall performance of the workforce.
A quality management system (QMS) aims to reduce damage to processes and products by ensuring repeatability through implementing process controls. While safety and environmental management systems are required by law, a QMS is implemented voluntarily to assure customers of product integrity and quality. All management systems, including a QMS, ultimately aim to protect people and the planet through prevention and continual improvement. A successful QMS depends on people implementing, using, and controlling the system processes.

Safety communication comes in varying forms including policies and procedures, performance statistics, hazard and incident reports, workplace inductions, risk assessments, and training. Effective communication mechanisms are critical to engage staff in safety activities, to gain cooperation and support, and to maintain a positive safety culture. These mechanisms need to complement the practical and technical safety strategies. Clear and constructive safety communication can improve knowledge and understanding that prevents at-risk behaviours and enhances safe work practices. A case study is used to illustrate how an organisation responded to a decrease in injury performance with a variety of safety communication techniques.

This document discusses stress in the workplace and an employer's responsibilities to address it. It defines stress and cites UK statistics on its prevalence and impact. It recommends that employers conduct risk assessments to identify stress hazards, consult with employees, and implement measures to improve the six key sources of work stress as defined by the HSE's Management Standards. These include demands, control, support, relationships, role and change. The document provides guidance on dealing with individual stressed employees and developing an organizational stress management plan.
Stress in the workplace is a significant issue, impacting employee health, productivity, and costs for employers. According to statistics provided, 44% of Americans feel more stressed than 5 years ago, and stress-related issues cost $300 billion annually in medical bills and lost productivity. High levels of stress can negatively impact employee absenteeism, health, safety, engagement, and performance. Employers are addressing stress through employee assistance programs, wellness initiatives, leadership training, and flexible work policies. Effective stress management techniques for employees include cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, relaxation, and cultivating gratitude and optimism.
The document discusses the return on investment (ROI) of workplace wellbeing programs. It notes that direct costs from absenteeism, healthcare costs, disability, and workers' compensation make up 15% of total costs, while indirect costs from issues like presenteeism account for a much larger 85% share. Research shows wellbeing programs can reduce healthcare costs and improve productivity, engagement, and safety. Studies find ROIs for wellbeing programs ranging from 144% to 3,000% over multiple years. The document advocates for integrating considerations of employees' physical, social, and psychological needs to create overall wellbeing at work.

Why do we change? Quantifying feelings and tipping points for changeAlastair Campbell
This document summarizes research on factors that influence whether individuals change their behavior at work. The research identified both "hard beliefs" and feelings that are present to different degrees depending on whether change was successful. A simple survey tool was developed to measure these factors and predict success or failure of initiatives, targeting areas for improvement. The tool provides a "traffic light" view of how well an initiative is addressing the key factors compared to past successful and unsuccessful changes. Sample diagnostics show how the tool could be used to redirect investment in a current initiative toward the most important factors it is not adequately addressing.
This document summarizes Trustmark's LifeHealth & Wealth employee engagement platform. The platform delivers workplace wellness solutions, benefits, and tools to help employers build a culture centered around employee health and well-being.

The document discusses seven drivers that enable hospitals to successfully improve and sustain higher levels of patient experience over time. These drivers are: 1) measurement of patient experience through timely and relevant data, 2) engagement of patients and families to understand their needs and partner on improvements, 3) engagement of organizational staff to create a culture of patient focus, 4) initial interventions targeted based on measurement data, 5) effective leadership to prioritize and drive the efforts, 6) process improvements throughout the organization, and 7) sustainability of efforts over time rather than temporary initiatives. The absence of any one of these seven drivers reduces the likelihood of success in improving and maintaining higher patient experience.
Applying the Science of High Reliability to Improve Operations and Increase...Health Catalyst
Principles of high reliability have been a strategic focus for many hospitals and healthcare systems. Still, significant disruptions, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, often push strategic initiatives aside or categorize them as “not important right now.” However, high-reliability organizations (HROs) principles and practices are essential in uncertain times to support operations and organizational resilience.
Fran Griffin, an independent consultant with over 25 years of experience in healthcare—specializing in the areas of patient safety, quality improvement, and high reliability—discusses the characteristics of HROs and how to apply these principles in both expected and unexpected situations. Fran discusses approaches to process design and analysis, movement from “Safety 1 to Safety 2,” and the impact on organizational culture. She also shares strategies for self-assessing an organization’s progress on the high-reliability journey.
After this webinar, attendees will be able to:
-Describe how high-reliability practices support operations in both expected and unexpected situations.
-Summarize key concepts from Safety 2 approaches.
-Apply self-assessment methods to their organization.
-Identify opportunities for design and redesign using HRO principles.
This document discusses using behavioral science approaches to improve patient safety programs. It describes a partnership between the Canadian Patient Safety Institute (CPSI) and the Ottawa Centre for Implementation Research to increase the use of behavioral approaches in designing effective change programs. As an example, it outlines a study that used interviews and observations to identify barriers to physician hand hygiene, designed an intervention to address key behavioral domains, and implemented different strategies for medical and surgical staff. The goal is to help organizations optimize change programs and patient safety initiatives through incorporating insights from behavioral science.

This particular slides consist of- what is hypotension,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is the summary of hypotension:
Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is when the pressure of blood circulating in the body is lower than normal or expected. It's only a problem if it negatively impacts the body and causes symptoms. Normal blood pressure is usually between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg, but pressures below 90/60 are generally considered hypotensive.
