Description
After this session you’ll be able to: 
- Identify patients at high risk for pressure ulcer formation.
- Explain innovative interventions that would prevent pressure ulcers.
- Increase staff awareness of pressure ulcer development through preventative measures and quality improvement activities.
Why this is important:
When Susan Scott developed the Scott Triggers®, the first surgery-specific risk assessment tool, she wanted to create a Perioperative Pressure Injury Prevention Program (PPIPP) that would improve outcomes and reduce costs in a high-risk surgical population. This innovative solution outlines a vision for patient-centered care and safety that integrates evidence, tools, technology and accountability.
Join D. A. Surgical for this CE luncheon where Scott will illustrate a strategic plan that highlights inter-professional collaboration to improve competency and skills. Gain valuable insight into the progress and challenges of PPIPP and leave with the tools you need to create a high-reliability program.
