Protect Your Patients with a Comprehensive Surgical Instrument Safety Program - ASCA's 2017 Webinar
When:
Oct 10, 2017 from 13:00 to 14:00 (ET)
Countless media headlines about adverse patient care outcomes associated with lapses in reprocessing protocols and techniques drive home the complexity and challenges associated with the proper reprocessing of surgical instruments and medical devices. Get the criteria and resources you need to develop and implement an effective Quality Assurance program, as well as, guidelines and tools that can help you ensure that the medical devices and surgical instruments that you are reprocessing are clean, sterile and safe for patient care. Review current recommendations from professional entities such as the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI), the Association for periOperative Registered Nurses (AORN), the Society of Gastroenterology Nurses and Associates (SGNA) and the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC). Learn about all the elements involved in an effective Sterile Processing Quality Assurance program that will keep your patients safe and meet the requirements of all the regulatory and accrediting bodies that oversee this essential patient safety tool in your ASC, including The Joint Commission, the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, your state department of health and more.
