Dr. Seim is responsible for quality and safety across WellSpan Health, including quality management and clinical improvement, LEAN management systems, infection prevention and control, patient safety, performance improvement, clinical risk management and regulatory compliance. He has been with WellSpan for four years, with initiatives improving both quality and safety standards. In 2021, he led the implementation of the lean management system to launch a safety goal of zero harm for patients and team members. Implementation of the system contributed to a 45% decrease in serious events and a 97% increase in patient safety event reporting during the same time period. Dr. Seim has also focused on the reduction and preparedness for workplace violence by assigning workplace violence de-escalation training to thousands of team members. Under his leadership, WellSpan also recently launched the dynamic appraisal of situational aggression assessment tool in its EHR, helping to better identify adult patients in hospitals who may be behavioral risks or present potential risks of violence.
