Program Summary
As the cost of providing healthcare continues to rise, hospitals are tasked with finding solutions to reduce overall costs while delivering quality care. While the operating room (OR) generates a large percentage of revenue for a hospital, it is also one of the costliest units to manage within the hospital especially related to supply costs. The increased focus on evidence-based decision making has led hospitals to adopt improvement strategies from other industries such as Lean in order maximize value and minimize waste. This continuing education activity will provide a high-level overview of the Lean approach to problem solving and standard methodology, types of wastes and the impact on performance initiatives, and strategies for implementing the Lean approach in the hospital setting. How value stream mapping can minimize waste and optimize delivery of quality care as well as determination of waste generators and value-add opportunities in glove practices, material, and quality will be described.

Program Summary
Despite advances to optimize infection prevention, the burden of surgical site infections (SSIs) still remains and is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. SSIs are the 2nd most common adverse event in hospitalized patients, totaling 1.5 million each year. Targeting SSI prevention is a national priority. This continuing nursing education activity will provide an overview of the pathogenesis, classification, and management of SSIs. Associated risk factors and current statistics regarding SSIs will also be reviewed. The economic impact on patients and institutions, as well as the impact of SSIs on quality of care and hospital reimbursement will be discussed, along with components of a successful SSI reduction program.
