Midwest Medflight Implements 365 Safety AMRM™
Air Medical Transport Provider to engage 365 days per year in Safety and AMRM
Training
Boardman, OH, February 2, 2009—This month, Midwest Medflight
of Ann Arbor, Michigan, will begin implementing ThinkThroughTools' 365 Safety
AMRM™ on-demand software to better focus on enhancing its overall safety and
AMRM (Air Medical Resource Management).
"We've been working on standardizing our whole shift briefing and to improve
communications among our crew," says Judy Kettenstock, program director of
Midwest Medflight. "We added 365 Safety AMRM as an additional piece so that our
crew will have air medical crew resource management on the top of their minds
every day when they come in."
Although her safety committee has been conducting monthly AMRM reviews at its
team meetings, Kettenstock believes that the on-demand software provided by
ThinkThroughTools will have a positive outcome.
"Having it right there every day on your mind will help improve safety and
AMRM," she says. "Working with ThinkThroughTools has been great so far. They
have been extremely helpful and are very unique to work with. They made getting
this process started very simple for us."
365 Safety AMRM™ is on-demand (Internet-Based) software that provides innovative
programs, like Midwest Medflight, short daily Safety AMRM training and testing
that's included with each shift brief. Each day, crew members are provided
learning lessons, scenarios and quizzes related to their duties. The process
takes 8 to 10 minutes and is integrated into each shift brief to assure daily
consistency and to make it part of the daily culture and operations. This tool
serves as a key recurrent training process for staff.
"Midwest MedFlight is now part of a community of leading air medical transport
providers implementing 'Best Practitioner' technologies that focus on human
factors and human behaviors daily," says Rich Obertots, CEO of
ThinkThroughTools. "We are honored that Judy and her team made the decision to
join several leading programs working with ThinkThroughTools to set new
standards – not only for air medical transport – but for all of aviation."
