This session will cover best practice to prevent surgical site infection. It will provide information related to factors that occur in the pre, intra, and post op periods that contribute to surgical site infection and how perioperative nurses can impact these factors. The Joint Commission National Patient Safety Goal #7 mandates that staff be educated about health-care associated infections, multidrug-resistant organisms and prevention strategies. This webinar will contribute to meeting that goal.

Education Hot Topic:
What you need to know about Surgical Attire

Date: April 14, 2010
Time: 2pm MDT

Preventing surgical site infections in the perioperative suite is a priority for all members of the surgical team. Reimbursement from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid is reduced if preventable infections are acquired during the patient stay. The use of appropriate surgical non-sterile attire prior to entering the semi-restricted and restricted areas of the surgical suite plays a critical role in preventing infections.  This webinar will address both appropriate and inappropriate surgical attire.  Also covered will be upcoming changes to AORN’s Recommended Practice on Surgical Attire.
