Webinar Overview:
What do briefings, check lists, team work, fatigue, and distractions have in common? The answer is of course surgical safety. Can chlorhexidine as opposed to the use of povidone-iodine for surgical skin antisepsis really reduce infections? CMS just got a $40 million dollar grant to enforce infection control standards. The CDC says there are 1.7 million healthcare infections and 99,000 deaths every year in America. Should infection control be a focus area for your surgical patients this year? Not doing infection control correctly can end up costing the hospital a lot of money.
A 2010 report on adverse health events in Minnesota reported that a number of pressure ulcers developed while patients were undergoing long surgical procedures. Is that something your hospital should evaluate? This program is geared at helping reduce adverse events in surgery patients and to improve surgical outcomes. This program is a must for anyone who is interested in patient safety and preventing adverse events in patients undergoing surgical procedures. Are you up to speed with the CMS new anesthesia standards for preoperative assessments and post anesthesia evaluations? The anesthesia and postanesthesia standards were changed three times with the latest changes issued May 21, 2010.
Did you know that Joint Commission this month made four changes to the National Patient Safety Goals? This program will cover some of the hot problematic standards with both CMS and the Joint Commission. This program will cover how to meet the CMS and Joint Commission standards on verbal orders and history and physicals.
