Improving Patient Flow in the ED & Beyond
Sue Dill Calloway, RN, MSN, JD
Our expert will present evidence-based recommendations to reduce boarding and overcrowding and help hospitals implement operational, cultural, and data management changes to improve patient flow. Attendees will learn about current TJC standards that address patient flow through the emergency department. This includes measures....
Informed Consent: Meeting CMS, TJC and DNV Requirements
Sue Dill Calloway, RN, MSN, JD
Informed consent is a costly deficiency for hospitals that can be easily prevented. A recent study found that misplaced consent forms cost hospitals $580,000 each year, and 66% of patients were missing signed consent forms at surgery, delaying 10% of surgical procedures. This program will provide the current CMS CoPs for hosp....
