One hospital’s journey toward building a Safety-First Culture and how Physician Peer Review came along for the ride!
Every hospital and healthcare system are somewhere on the path to becoming a High Reliability Organization. This long trip requires incredible humility, energy, and dedication to ensure the destination is reached! This presentation will describe one hospital’s journey from self-reflection to robust safety event management with a high level of staff and physician engagement.
Join HQI and the Alliance for Quality Improvement and Patient Safety for two days of topic-focused breakout sessions, Safe Table discussions, and amazing keynote presenters — all focused on Patient Safety Evaluation Systems. 8 a.m. – 12 p.m., PST 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., CST 11 a.m. – 3 p.m., EST “Once you get patient safety right, everything else follows.” […]
As part of vital efforts to improve health care, data is valuable and necessary. But focusing on the numbers may take the focus off the people the numbers represent. In this discussion, Leilani Schweitzer will detail the importance keeping patient, families and the people who care for them at the center of safety improvement efforts. She will discuss what is needed by all stakeholders after an adverse medical event and how transparency and apology can benefit everyone.
Pulmonary embolisms (PE) are a leading cause of in-hospital mortality and the third-leading cause of cardiovascular deaths behind myocardial infarction and stroke. Most clinicians associate PE with oxygen desaturation, but the big picture includes the “pump problems.”
In this webinar, there will be a review of the assessment skills related to PE, and new diagnostic and treatment options brought out by recent studies. Knowing how to monitor for deterioration and manage the care of a patient during intervention is crucial for nurses of all specialties to be prepared for, even if the patient is not in an interventional hospital.
The operating room (OR) is a very complex, dynamic, and high-stakes environment that relies on contributions from team members from multiple disciplines. Over 200 million surgical procedures are performed globally each year, and despite awareness of adverse effects, surgical errors continue to occur at a high rate. Surgical errors account for a significant number of adverse events.
In a Jan. 11 webinar, OR nurse Dee Morris will discuss common causes and prevention techniques. She will also discuss tips for speaking up and how to engage staff.
Additionally, discussion will include variations in safety culture and how they should be addressed when implementing culture change programs in the perioperative setting.
Hospital-acquired pneumonia is the No. 1 hospital-acquired infection in the U.S. Currently, an estimated 1 in every 100 hospitalized patients acquire pneumonia during their stay, with the associated burdens of morbidity, mortality, sepsis, and monetary impact.
Understanding how to prevent this common infection is a key element of success. Medical professionals rely on evidence-based guidelines to inform hospital-based prevention programs.
In a Feb. 8 webinar, participants will learn about the updated hospital-acquired pneumonia prevention guidelines for 2022, along with some surprising new recommendations from the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA), Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA), and Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC), and how one hospital system is adjusting its strategies.
In this webinar, we will demonstrate how the new CHPSO Data reporting system works, answer members’ questions, and discuss ideas for continuous improvement of our new platform.
CHPSO has partnered with NewVolt Solutions and SpeedTrack Inc. to launch this new event reporting platform as a replacement for NextPlane.
The new system improves in a few key areas
- Simplified upload and data mapping process, using artificial intelligence to decrease the manual input required
- Improved data standardization, with a focus on the most commonly used AHRQ data elements
- Advanced comparative analytics and text navigation
Similar to NextPlane, the new system will not require technical resources, will not require any software installation, and will not be any additional charge to members.
Webinar intro paragraph to promote the webinar. Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center (SCVMC) showed an 83% reduction in surgical site infections as part of a methodical, structured approach utilizing subject matter experts both in and outside of procedural areas. SCVMC made maximum use of patient stories, multidisciplinary engagement, data analysis, Lean Six Sigma tools, Just Culture, and industry best practices. It included the implementation of ERAS, a multimodal perioperative care pathway designed to achieve early recovery for patients undergoing major surgery for both COLO and GYN surgery and continues to expand to other service lines.
In the last 10 years, there has been a ground swell of evidence-based practices related to cardiac arrest management, resulting in increased attention to coordinated in-hospital response and resuscitation practices. The COVID-19 pandemic pushed these response mechanisms to the limit, and made many hospital systems reconsider how they prepare for, measure and improve their response to patients with acute decompensation. In this context, regulatory bodies are now deliberately incorporating review of resuscitation practices into their hospital site reviews. This lecture will review these emerging site review criteria, discuss different models of code response and preparedness, and offer suggestions on how to best meet these new requirements and promote long term survivorship for in-hospital cardiac arrest.
