New Videos Help Healthcare Providers Double-Check Injection Practices

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) continues to investigate outbreaks as a result of unsafe injection practices. These mistakes and knowledge gaps put healthcare providers and patients at risk. CDC’s One & Only Campaign created two short videos to help make healthcare safer, one injection at a time.
• Check Your Steps! Make Every Injection Safe - For healthcare providers
• Managing Patient Safety, One Injection at a Time - For healthcare managers

Created by the Safe Injection Practices Coalition, these videos detail critical information to help all providers and facility managers double check their injection safety knowledge and help keep patients safe from unnecessary harm.
