Mobility Matters: Positive impact of safe mobilization
Jan Powers PhD, RN, CCNS, CCRN, NE-BC, EBP-C, FCNS, FCCM, FAAN
This webinar will review the effects of immobility and emphasize the importance of early mobility for driving better patient outcomes. We will highlight the nurse's role in safe patient handling to help reduce caregiver injuries and outline best practices for mobilizing patients. We will cover effective strategies for implementing mobility programs to enhance consistency, safety and long-term success.
Risk of Pressure Injury in Operative and Procedure Areas
Suzy Scott MSN, RN, FAAN
Undergoing any operative procedure can place a patient at higher risk of pressure injury development. Depending on time, position and vital parameters, a patient's skin injury may not be apparent for several days post-op. During this webinar, you will learn to identify patients' risk factors as well as common surgical positions and instrumentation and devices used during this phase of care that increase risk. Interventions to reduce the risk to your patients in a structured perioperative pressure injury prevention program will be discussed.
Safe patient handling and mobility - Reducing the risk through evidence-based interventions
Susan Salsbury BS, OTR/L, CSPHP, CDMS-R
A comprehensive overview of safe patient handling and mobility (SPHM) practices, emphasizing the dual goals of enhancing patient outcomes and ensuring caregiver safety. We will identify risk factors that contribute to patient handling injuries, explore resources to help implement and maintain a SPHM program, and understand the interconnectedness between early mobility, SPHM, fall prevention, pressure injury prevention and improved patient outcomes.
Sepsis and hospital-acquired pneumonia
Elias Coury MPH, BHSc and Jo Ann Brooks PhD, RN, WOC Nurse
A moderated virtual panel discussion with Elias Coury and Jo Ann Brooks where they will discuss Sepsis- including updates on ties to hospital acquired infections and the quality impact.
Hidden in plain sight: non-ventilator hospital-acquired pneumonia (NVHAP) - the #1 hospital-acquired infection
Dian Baker PhD, MA, MS, APRN
This course will provide healthcare professionals with an in-depth understanding of non-ventilator hospital-acquired pneumonia (NVHAP), its clinical consequences and the role of the human lung microbiome in the development of this infection. The session will also introduce the adapted island model of the lung microbiome and explore how this model may help inform preventive measures and actionable practices to address the risk of NVHAP among critically ill patients.
Making it Happen: Managing Urinary Incontinence and Protecting Patients' Skin
Carmen Davis MSN, RN, CCRN, CNS-BC
This presentation offers an overview of the prevalence, costs and risk factors of urinary incontinence (UI), incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD), and pressure injury (PI). We will examine how one phenomenon can lead to another, along with strategies to help prevent and manage these conditions in the clinical setting. Basic physiology will be reviewed to support understanding potential etiologies and best practice treatment strategies. Change management approaches will be discussed to help our team members adopt best practices and improve patient outcomes.
