    MODERATE SEDATION: COMPLYING WITH ACCREDITATION AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

    Learning Objective: To help facilities comply with new CMS Requirements and Accreditation Standards (The Joint Commission, AAAHC, AAAASF, DNV/NIAHO) as they apply to healthcare professionals who administer sedation

    Each year, millions of procedures using moderate sedation are performed in ambulatory, ancillary, or acute care settings by clinicians other than anesthesia professionals. While many of these procedures may seem low risk, clinicians who are not properly trained may be putting patients at risk for unintended complications or medical errors.

    Clinicians must be able to clearly distinguish between moderate sedation and the more dangerous states of deep sedation and general anesthesia; as well as determine the potential complex interactions between the agents used, a patient's health, and drug sensitivities, so that they can act quickly to respond to the many complications that may occur.

    This comprehensive training module will educate staff on the following:
  • Pharmacology of medications/agents used
  • How to safely deliver these medications
  • Pre-procedural, procedural, and post-procedural assessment and monitoring of patients
  • Safety and infection prevention protocols
  • Proper documentation
  • Current regulations, standards, recommended practices and guidelines that apply to the use of moderate sedation/analgesia

    ON HIGH ALERT: INFECTION PREVENTION PRACTICES FOR THE OPERATING ROOM

    Learning Objective: To help healthcare professionals in the perioperative environment understand the principles of asepsis in order to meet national goals for the prevention of surgical site infections.

    Surgical site infections (SSI) occur in over 500K patients per year, and represent one fourth of all healthcare-associated infections. SSI can have potentially dire consequences to the patient, including suffering, delayed recovery/extended hospital stays with increased costs, and death.

    The fundamental goal of the surgical team is to prevent SSI, and the best way to accomplish this is through aseptic technique. Therefore, every member of the surgical team must understand the general principles of asepsis/infection control in the perioperative setting, and incorporate these principles into everyday practice.

    This program addresses the following:
  • Adherence to Standard Precautions and Transmission-based Precautions
  • Adherence to Principles of Asepsis (skin prep, draping, sterile vs. non-sterile)
  • Maintaining and Monitoring the Surgical Field including Traffic Patterns
  • Antimicrobial Prophylaxis
  • Environmental Cleaning
  • Post-operative Surveillance for SSI

    PARTNERS IN CARE: PROGRAM 9 - PATIENT EDUCATION FOR PREVENTING SURGICAL SITE INFECTIONS

    Learning Objective: To educate patients on which organisms commonly cause surgical site infections, and outline pre- and post-operative practices in which the patient can participate to help reduce the chance of a surgical site infection

    Preventing surgical site infections is a Joint Commission patient safety goal, and a requirement by CMS. By incorporating evidence based practices and providing patient education, facilities are more likely to increase compliance with preventative measures and thereby decrease rates of infection. Part of this practice includes asking the patient to prepare the skin with an antiseptic solution and administer a nasal ointment prior to surgery.

    This program explains the rationale behind these practices in a clear, concise manner as well as provides step-by-step demonstrations.

    After viewing this program the patient will be able to:
  • Identify Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA as potentially dangerous organisms
  • Describe the steps for preparing the skin pre-operatively with an antiseptic cleanser
  • Describe the steps for applying antiseptic nasal ointment
  • Outline infection prevention practices to follow in the home
  • Identify infection prevention practices performed at the facility
  • Describe the signs and symptoms of post-operative infection
