Overview
The Toxicologic Information for Providers (TIPs) video series provides healthcare professionals with clinical information about environmental hazards and how to address patient exposures. Most videos are only 1-2 minutes long, so clinicians can use them while at work. The videos are also accessible for patients who want to learn how to reduce environmental exposures.
Each TIPs video focuses on a single hazardous substance, follows the same instructional format, and
- features a scene about the use and limitations of testing for exposure within a clinical encounter.
- demonstrates exposure reduction strategies, such as using appropriate personal protective equipment at work, ventilating areas where exposures occur, and choosing safer alternative products.
- concludes by highlighting actionable advice that clinicians can provide to patients to reduce or prevent exposures.
- provides resources for clinicians to learn more about specific exposures.
