Electronic Distraction in the ICU: An Impediment to Patient Safety |
|
This session is part of the unique webcast series, Patient Safety During Bedside Procedures in the ICU. Preventable medical errors in our ICUs are associated with a culture that focuses on patient safety. In this webcast, Peter J. Papadakos MD, FCCM, FAARC, focuses on creating awareness of reducing noise and distractions in the ICU in order to create a safer environment for the patient and the procedural team. Additional information is provided on how electronic devices can spread infection and what can be done to prevent it. The implementation of tools and practice to reinforce this safety culture is the emphasis of this webcast.
