ED Hot Legal & Regulatory Issues for 2017
Speaker: Sue Dill Calloway, RN, MSN, JD Code: T1704032
Duration: 120 min. Format: On-Demand
The emergency department (ED) is a high-risk environment for liability. During this session, our expert will discuss legal and risk management issues staff face every day. To help prepare, she will review the CMS CoP and TJC's ED-specific standards.
Attendees will learn about medication management and opioid use, anesthesia standards, discharge instructions, the CoP change (which will require all ED nurses to train on blood transfusion and IV medication), and the TJC standard on patient centered communication as it relates to the OCR Section 1557.
