Free Webinar on Safer Clinical Hand-Offs Offered by Compirion Healthcare

Date:7/23/2009

ELM GROVE, Wis., July 23 /PRNewswire/ -- With the number of hand-offs involved in the day-to-day operations of patient care, the potential for error due to the communication process is considered a high risk. A webinar, titled Safer Clinical Hand-Offs Now or Never: A Primary Strategy to Improving Patient Safety, is being offered free of charge to encourage standardization of hand-off communication in an effort to improve patient safety in healthcare facilities. The webinar has been developed as part of an ongoing educational program by consultants from Compirion Healthcare Solutions, a hospital process improvement firm.

Insufficient or inconsistent communication between hospital staff adversely affects the quality and continuity of care provided and contributes to adverse events and increased healthcare costs. According to the Institute of Medicine (IOM), two studies showed at least 44,000 people and perhaps as many as 98,000 die in hospitals each year because of medical errors that could have been prevented. Standardization of the hand-off communication process is necessary in promotion of patient safety. Physicians, physician extenders, nurse practitioners, nursing directors, managers, charge nurses, RNs, allied health personnel, risk management staff and performance improvement staff will find that information in this webinar will play a critical role in their effort to improve patient safety. The times, dates and registration information, along with a full list of webinars, can be found at www.compirion.com/webinars.

This webinar is presented by one of Compirion's top nurse clinicians, Clinical Consultant Joyce Je
