Medicine Department Safe training is a computer based review program named de’medici and it is an employee training program. This annual review packet serves as a generic training tool. All health-care providers with direct patient care are required by state law to complete a group of 11 modules and pass a mandatory training test to assess proficiency in these areas. They include emergency preparedness, life and fire safety, electrical safety, working safety with hazardous materials, back safety, violence in the workplace, latex allergy prevention, preventing TB in the workplace, preventing AIDS and hepatitis B and C in the workplace, radiation safety, and age related care for health-care workers.
