Yarram and District Health Service were successful in obtaining funding from the Health Issues Centre Practice Partners Program in 2017.
The funding has been used to produce four safety videos for patients. The videos provide information on:
- The importance of hand washing and preventing infection
- How to avoid falling in hospital
- How to prevent pressure injury in hospital
- The importance of medication, identification, the patient’s right to request more information, to provide feedback and to speak up if they feel there is a change in their condition.
The videos are a convenient, easy and engaging way to provide this key information to patients and are available to all health services who may wish to use them via the Health Issues Centre website:
