The Open Door Policy is a lie. My manager’s door is only open when she’s looking for someone to blame for a metric dip. I tried to bring up a genuine safety concern last week, and I was told I wasn't being a team player. Now I just keep my mouth shut and do my job, which feels like a disservice to my patients. Is there actually such a thing as a psychologically safe healthcare workplace anymore?

Whoa, back up there. If you raised a legitimate safety concern and it was brushed aside, you'd better step up and see that it's addressed. Your ethical responsibility supersedes some corporate nonsense about being a team player. Take your concerns to someone who will listen, or you will be complicit in the unsafe situation.

Agree, can you go to anyone else about the safety concern?

I know what you mean. After working as a full time vascular tech employee at two Atlanta hospitals, I decided to work as a 'travel' tech. I find that, by working as a traveler, I don't have to be involved in those 'mind games' that the supervisors/upper management play. Most contracts are 3 months, and I can decide to stay, if they still need staffing, or leave, if I find it's not an environment I like.

Leave as fast as possible. That environment is toxic.

Better safe no saying anything. They cover themselves well and these agencies out here to help employees with legitimate concerns and complaints, always side with these companies/Corporate. Point Blank.

Do you have a safety team that you can report your safety concern to? Or an SRS (safety reporting system)? Where I work at now we have a safety team that comes around and makes sure we are ready for JACHO walk through and if we have any safety concerns we can go directly to them and get the answer and a response, or email or text them. I would email your supervisor with your concern so they have to address it and CC their superior on it. When I worked at Duke we had the SRS which allowed us to report any safety concern to including a patient or staff falln or injury or near injury. It could be as small as a bubble in the carpet. Don't risk your license for a safety concern that needs to be adressed.

Our CEO came in during orientation and said she had an open door policy. I always laugh about it now because she locks herself in her office so that nobody comes in and talks to her. There are definitely better places to work.
