What’s My Fine? OSHA Annual Retraining DVD Program
[expand/collapse]
Quality America’s newest OSHA training DVD, “What’s My Fine?” contains ten short scenes
that depict daily operations at a medical clinic in Anytown, USA. In each scenario, healthcare
workers make various mistakes that violate OSHA Standards. Your staff will identify these
issues and note them in their workbook (provided on the included CD). Next, the host comes on screen and points out each item that was done incorrectly, and discusses the right way to do it. Finally, fines for noncompliance are assigned to each mistake. This 45-minute interactive, game show-type program is a fun and fast-paced way to make sure your staff completes annual retraining - and actually remembers what they learned. May be re-used yearly and offers one P.A.C.E. CEU credit.

Quality Assessment Plan: A Simplified Approach

Use this plan to incorporate quality assessment into the daily routine of your laboratory to get a better picture of ongoing performance, rather than just at one
point in time. This approach will allow you to derive more benefit from your quality assessment
efforts. This ready-to-implement QA plan is organized in a 3-ring binder and contains:
| |
- Detailed instructions
- A Quality Assessment Plan that you can modify to meet your needs
