Description
According to the CDC over two thirds of patients admitted to hospitals nationwide come via the emergency department. What are the areas of high risk in the ED? What are strategies for minimizing that risk? This program addresses the problems of waits and delays, medication errors and hand-offs and offers a menu of the latest strategies for combating each. Though appropriate for all levels, this course is intended for leadership and is a 30,000 foot view to help the executive level understand the inherent risks in the ED environment
