Safety Series
Spread the Science, NOT the Virus Safety Series is a new offering from Jefferson’s College of Population Health and the states’ hospital associations. During planning and response to COVID-19, hospitals were first and foremost attuned to keeping patients as safe as possible. With a novel virus, unknown and untested treatments, and unpredictable impacts of the virus on different patients, the hospitals had to establish processes and practices that would save the most lives and prevent the most harm while patients were under their care.
In the series, from January to June 2021, hospital associations from Louisiana, Michigan, Florida, Colorado, Minnesota, and Texas shared their approaches to safe care during the COVID-19 pandemic. Content is meant for hospitals, hospital associations and other healthcare organizations and professionals seeking to identify best practices they can adopt at their organizations.
