Description

This session was presented at the November 2012 Managing the Spectrum of Infection Prevention in Acute and Ambulatory Settings symposium held in Atlanta. The focus of this session, Preventing Reducing Adverse Events through Collaboration across the Surgical Continuum was on performance improvement efforts that are currently underway in more than 4000 national hospitals and the multidisciplinary collaboration needed for sustainable improvement results. Care improvement efforts measured by the Joint Commission Accountability Measure sets will be explored. CAUTI, as a case study, will be highlighted to review performance improvement tools and methods that multidisciplinary surgical teams can use. The need for multidisciplinary staff collaboration and accountability will be discussed and the use of best practice tools such as SIPOC, High Level Maps, and Cause and Effect Diagrams that reduce the adverse event will be described. This videotaped presentation will be enhanced with synchronized audio recordings and PowerPoint slides. The participant will complete test questions and a course evaluation form to measure the value of this learning experience.
