About this listen

 As Omicron sweeps the world Guy and Matthew speak with Darcy Jaffe, a Senior Vice President at the Washington State Hospital Association responsible for Safety and Quality. Darcy discusses how collaboration, cooperation, and communication across hospitals has increased COVID safety and what safety in a hospital really means. We discuss how rural hospitals have met the challenges of COVID and the serious risks when a neighboring state has a different response to COVID and drains local resources. Conversations explore the complications, and the vital needs, of mental health care during the pandemic, how maternity care and giving birth in hospitals has changed during COVID, and why Washington state is a leader in COVID care. Also, Guy helps Matthew learn what a travel nurse is and how to correctly pronounce 'Om... Om.. Omicron".
