Mobile Health has developed an HRO Safety Collaborative Board which includes representation from MH Leadership, Corporate Care, Risk Management, and Human Resources. The first initiative of the Board was to create a Mobile Health Safety Culture. Earlier this year, MH rolled out our safety culture initiative called Vision Zero across our departments. Vision Zero is just as important and synonymous with our system Mission, Vision, Values, Characteristics, Credo and Mantra. The Safety Culture is based on the assumption that all accidents/incidents are preventable and emphasizes zero harm to our patients, co-workers, families, and communities.
The principles of Vision Zero are predicated on every employee can make a difference, every voice matters, inclusion of all departments, and risk stratification. In addition to creating a Vision Zero, the collaborative identified a key opportunity to develop a driver training program to include classroom, behind the wheel (cone course) and the addition of two ambulance operator simulators. With the addition of this program, we have expanded the knowledge and experiences each of our new employees might face while operating an emergency vehicle with Mobile Health. We are excited to see the results of our initial investment as well as expansion of the program to include all employees across our departments.
Two Driving Simulators were delivered in April of 2025 (Roselle Base and Campus Drive). Train the Trainer education was provided by L3 Service Experts through April. An internal team of trainers was developed, and modules were built based of Incidents and Accidents that have historically happened to make the simulator experience as close to realistic as possible. To date, we have had 50+ employees who have had an opportunity to utilize the driving simulators. Additionally, all new employees are going through a behind the wheel driving course. Our goal is to expand this to all employees in the near future!
