Submitted by Susan Driver, Project Manager, Workplace Health

As a community health care provider or officer, have you used the Community Risk Screen Tool? Have you completed the post implementation survey?

The Community Risk Screen Tool has been in use since November 2011. As users of the Community Risk Screen Tool your input is important and we would like to hear from you. Your time and participation are greatly appreciated. We encourage you to complete the survey and share your opinions.

The results of the survey are intended to find out if the objectives have been met and your feedback will be used to make decisions regarding how to improve the program where possible. We request that you complete the survey questions as they apply to your specific team or program.

Objectives for the risk screen tool were to:

•         assist in the identification of risks

•         focus on staff safety

•         increase staff awareness of their risks and assist in reducing them

•         improve communication of identified risks among clinicians and between programs

•         and develop a risk screen tool that is practical, accessible, reliable, effective, easy to use and understand.

The survey is quick and easy to complete on any computer with internet access. Go to:
