Not only am I looking for a good guest blogger, I'm also open to guest posts! If you'd like to submit a post to appear at Hospital Impact, here are my submission guidelines:
- The topic can be focused on any aspect of hospital administration/leadership. Drawing from other learnings from industries is highly encouraged. Issues that tie back to the hospital impact tagline above are also especially welcomed.
- Keep them relatively short (250 words or less), as blog readers are scanners or are busy or both.
- Send it either as a .txt file or .rft file (this way I can cut and paste pretty easily).
- Let me know if I should use a pseudonym; otherwise I'll use your real name. I would also be happy to link to your website/blog.
- I'll still reserve the right not to use it or to edit as I will maintain overall editorial control; but for most good pieces, I probably won't edit them at all.

The same article put in the perspective of the public persona generates identification. That is what generates readership.
Safety TipHospital facilities built today do not include asbestos, but many older buildings still have asbestos components in them. Steam pipes, boilers and furnace ducts were often insulated with an asbestos blanket or asbestos paper tape because of their fireproof and insulating properties. Resilient floor tiles were made from vinyl asbestos. Asbestos cement was employed in roofing, shingles and siding materials. The hazard of this carcinogen increases when the fibers become airborne, and untrained contractors can inadvertently increase risks by cutting, tearing, sawing, scraping, or sanding asbestos materials. Elevated asbestos levels can occur in hospitals where old materials are damaged or disturbed. It is best to leave undamaged asbestos material alone if it is not likely to be disturbed. Inhaling asbestos fibers is known to cause mesothelioma and other diseases. Be sure to use an experienced asbestos removal contractor when you need to get rid of old materials that might contain asbestos. |
