Leader Exchange: Successful Creation of a Smoke Management Program
Leading Your OR Toward a Smoke-Free Environment
Surgical smoke poses a significant health risk to perioperative teams, yet the journey to implementing a comprehensive smoke management program varies widely across healthcare institutions. This panel brings together three key stakeholders – nurse leader, surgeon, and supply chain leader - from different hospital systems to share their experiences, challenges, and strategies in creating a smoke-free surgical environment. Whether operating in a state with smoke evacuation legislation in place or navigating change without a legal mandate, these leaders will offer practical insights into building a collaborative, sustainable program.
Key Takeaways
