Presented by Dianne Bourque, RN, CNOR, this 45-minute webinar webinar will spotlight essential evidence-based protocols to reduce the risk of surgical site infection, thereby optimizing patient outcomes and reducing the facility’s risk of litigation. We’ll discuss a series of SSI mitigation efforts that begin with the patient’s pre-op call and progress to discharge. The content is appropriate for healthcare professionals working in the outpatient surgical setting.

Upon completion of the webinar, attendees will be able to:

• Define a surgical-site infection.
• Locate the “DO NOT RE-USE” pictogram on packaging.
• Name the pathogen widely recognized as the most common bacterial cause of SSI.
