Briefings on Accreditation and Quality It’s been one year since Hurricane Harvey struck Houston, flooding the city and displacing tens of thousands of people. In one week, the Category 4 storm dropped 61 inches of rain and caused $125 billion in damages. The National Hurricane Center called Harvey “the most significant tropical cyclone rainfall event in U.S. history.” “At one point, we didn’t know if we were going to be able to save the hospital,” says the [Harris Health] facilities director.  But we have some new additions to this year’s list, including retained surgical items and patient lift systems. BOAQ spoke to several experts on the top 10 issues and about steps that can be taken to prevent them to guide readers in the upcoming year. This article contains hazards one through five. The remaining hazards will appear in upcoming editions of BOAQ.
