Hospital Safety Symposium coverage: Unsecured medical gas cylinders can add up

Unsecured E cylinders have contributed to quite a few Joint Commission findings in the last year. I told attendees at today’s Hospital Safety Symposium that I find this quite astonishing.

To be prepared for a survey, you want to watch for the low-hanging fruit--cylinders being an excellent example of that. An unsecured cylinder here, a fire door that doesn’t close properly there, and surveyors start adding these things up.
