Thriving After a Life-Quake - Rebooting Your
Perioperative Nurse Recruitment and Retention
Strategies
COVID-19 is being described as a global life-quake event. A life-quake
is a massive life change that reshapes our lives with aftershocks that
can last for years. In this interactive workshop, we consider how this
life-quake has changed the perioperative nursing workforce and what is
expected from nurse leaders. Recruitment and retention best practice
strategies and tactics will be discussed. You will leave the session
with tools to add to your leadership toolkit to help you become the
perioperative leader no one wants to leave.

Mastering Joint Commission Standards and CMS
Regulations
Many of the most problematic Joint Commission standards are
applicable to the OR and invasive procedure areas of your hospital.
This session will identify each of these issues, highlight how surveyors
attempt to assess your compliance with them, and share methods to
install bulletproof solutions to ensure a finding-free survey.
If a requirement for improvement (RFI) is deserved and cited, a
post-survey " evidence of standards compliance " is due in 60 days
in the precise format specified by Joint Commission. It is important
to remember in this phase that the Joint Commission is looking for
evidence that the issue has been fixed, not a commitment to fix it at a
future date or time, and that the improved process will be monitored
so that compliance is sustained. This session will instruct participants
on how to develop and write corrective action evidence of standards
compliance plans.
Learning Objectives:
» Describe how surveyors attempt to assess your compliance.
» Describe the format to provide " evidence of standards compliance " to
the Joint Commission.
» Discuss how to develop and write corrective action evidence of
standards compliance plans.

Sterile Processing is Instrumental to the OR's Success
The operating room (OR) and the sterile processing department (SPD)
are high-risk environments influenced by culture, teamwork, and task
complexity.
Sterile processing departments are the backbone of hospitals and
surgical centers. Without a well-trained and highly detail-oriented sterile
processing department, infection rates will rise, surgical site infections
will increase, and surgeons will not have the proper tools to perform the
patient's procedure.
Sterile processing departments are complex and infrastructure
investment to enhance the units can be challenging. Some facilities
may look to more cost-effective offsite sterile processing as an option to
improve their SPD program.
In this workshop, we will hear 2 case studies from facilities that have
transformed their sterile processing departments with different models,
in-house and offsite. Learn about the workflow, team communications,
cost savings, instrumentation availability, staff satisfaction, and
improved patient safety.
Get take-home tools on processes you can implement at your facility
whether you outsource or invest in-house. Learn how to better equip
your SPD to meet the demands of the modern-day OR.
Learning Objectives:
» Describe ways to enhance your SPD program to improve patient safety,
efficiency and throughput.
» Describe ways to better equip your SPD unit to improve staff
satisfaction.
» Discuss the myths around centralized offsite sterile processing.
