Threat Management Systems for Patient and Caregiver Safety:
Staying “Left of Boom”
Session Overview
Our February TMIT webinar addressing “active shooter events” generated substantial interest in Threat Management for healthcare systems ranging from high-frequency/low-impact events to the low-frequency/high-impact active shooter events, which are dramatically increasing in number. The polling of our audience of quality and safety leaders revealed intense interest and a clear request for more information in this area.
In response, we are delighted to present our March webinar on Threat Management Systems for Patient and Caregiver Safety. Dr. Greg Botz, a critical care leader from MD Anderson and the director of their simulation center, will be joined by two of our prior speakers, Vicki King and Chief Bill Adcox of the University of Texas Police Department at Houston. Ray Gerwitz, the Director of the University of Texas Police Department at Houston, will address systems issues to support threat management.
The team will take us through the prevention continuum known as “left of boom” – to focus on prevention and mitigation of an event, or the “boom.”
We will also revisit the call to action to reduce preventable exposure of children to ionizing radiation through support of a Joint Commission National Patient Safety Goal: “Patient Safety for Children Undergoing CT Imaging.” The contributions of Dr. Steve Swensen, Professor of Radiology at the Mayo Clinic, and others will be addressed.
We offer these online webinars at no cost to our participants.

Learning Objectives for Threat Management:
- AWARENESS: Participants will become aware of new and current risks to patients and caregivers including workforce bullying by staff, patients, and families, which can lead to major events.
- ACCOUNTABILITY: Participants will learn about new accountabilities that must be assigned to effectively optimize threat management at their organizations.
- ABILITY: Participants will learn some of the important best practices in threat management in terms of mitigation AND rapid multidisciplinary response.
- ACTION: Participants will have a clear understanding of systems issues that can drive actions they can take following the learning experience of the webinar.
Learning Objectives for Reducing Ionizing Radiation of Children:
- AWARENESS: Participants will learn the latest information about the preventable risk to children of ionizing radiation from computerized tomography.
- ACCOUNTABILITY: Participants will learn from a national poll of the commitment to reduce preventable risk to children of ionizing radiation from computerized tomography.
- ABILITY: Participants will learn how they can commit to a call to action to reduce preventable risk to children through CT imaging.
- ACTION: Participants will be given the opportunity to act in support of a national movement to reduce preventable risk to children from CT.
