Summary
Healthcare isn’t the only industry that’s working to protect people in dangerous environments. Each year at the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) National Forum, the IHI faculty leads excursions to organisations outside of healthcare to learn about how they do their work.
Kathy Duncan, IHI Faculty, leads a trip to the Central Florida Zoo, which has one of North America’s largest collections of venomous snakes. In this video, Duncan goes behind the scenes to learn about the staff’s safety procedures for handling snakes when they need to be moved from their enclosures.
