Live Webinars

Join Jaime Wong, MD, Senior Vice President and Senior Medical Officer with Intuitive, to hear firsthand about what makes da Vinci 5® the most powerful and fully integrated da Vinci® system, ever – and what it means for patients and perioperative teams.

At this live webinar you’ll gain the necessary knowledge to implement and fine tune an efficient robotic surgery program in the acute care setting. You’ll hear about best practices to achieve programmatic alignment, what staffing considerations you should make, and how to implement recruitment and retention ideas tailored to the unique demands of the program.

Peer-to-peer and hierarchical incivility and bullying inside surgical departments is more pervasive now than ever before. This panel discussion will provide an increased awareness of how these behaviors manifest, tools and tactics to address, and how leaders can turn the tide inside their department.

The evolution of supply chain demands in the surgical suite over the past four years has reshaped the way leaders think about purchasing processes and decisions. See how this diverse panel of perioperative leaders has changed the way they approach supply chain at their facilities.

Informatics competencies, defined as acceptable levels of knowledge, skill, and ability, are essential for nurses to effectively adopt and use healthcare technologies to achieve these goals. Nursing leaders have an influential role in making sure digital technology is used effectively in their organization.

What does it take to minimize turnover times and maximize caseload efficiency in bariatric surgical cases using flip rooms? In this eLearning course you’ll gain strategies and insights that include: staffing considerations, collaboration between pre-op and PACU teams, and innovative scheduling practices that foster workflow efficiencies.

As healthcare systems continue to combat COVID-19, and the ongoing risk posed by Multidrug-Resistant Organisms (MDROs), ultraviolet (UV) room disinfection can be a valuable tool for enhanced environmental hygiene and surface disinfection. This program reviews the basics of how UV room disinfection devices inactivate microorganisms, the germicidal UV dose delivery required to achieve broad spectrum efficacy and the basics for evaluating and decoding UV device manufacturers’ claims and support, which can vary greatly.

These educational videos serve as a comprehensive guide, aiming to instruct learners in the precise identification and assessment of critical veins within the lower extremities through ultrasound techniques. The focus encompasses locating not only the distal great saphenous vein and the posterior accessory saphenous vein but also intricately mapping perforator veins and other vital vascular pathways.

Healthcare providers working in the neonatal intensive care unit often care for patients who have vascular access devices. In this program, we will review umbilical catheters and peripherally inserted central line catheters relating to the neonatal patient. Providers must be aware of proper insertion considerations and appropriate care for these devices to decrease the risk of potentially serious complications.

Benchmarking is a powerful management tool used as a point of reference and a way of measuring and comparing services within and/or outside the healthcare system. In this program you'll discover how benchmarking can help establish best practices, identify quality gaps, and help to improve efficiency, patient care and satisfaction, and financial outcomes.

Review the problem of retained surgical items (RSI), including their economic and clinical implications. Assessing human factors, creating a safety, quality culture and how you, as a leader, can help reduce adverse events such as RSIs is also discussed. Strategies to reduce the incidence of RSIs and promote positive patient outcomes, including the role of adjunct technology, are outlined.

Review advanced treatment strategies for the management of venous leg ulcers (VLUs) including maintaining an optimal environment for wound healing and the benefits of compression therapy to reduce pain, facilitate healing and prevent recurrence.
