Everyday safety in OHSU’s emergency department

Content warning: In support of trauma-informed communications, please be aware that this message contains topics that may be activating for survivors of violence. OHSU takes seriously our responsibility to keep employees and patients safe. When employees are safe, their ability to flourish and contribute to a safe working environment increases. Unfortunately, our emergency department is seeing an increasing number of weapons entering patient care areas. As one solution, we are installing a metal detector in the emergency department entrance and will study its use for six months. Guests include: Desiree McCue, B.S.N., M.B.A., RN, CENP Director of nursing, Emergency Services David Jones, M.D. Associate professor of emergency medicine, OHSU School of Medicine
