Aileen Killen
The recent OR Today webinar “Streamlining OR Workflows and Safety Checklists to Improve OR Performance” was eligible for one (1) continuing (CE) hour and sponsored by LiveData.
Aileen Killen, RN, Ph.D., director of perioperative operational excellence at LiveData, discussed streamlining OR workflows and safety checklists to improve OR performance.
Key takeaways from the webinars included:
- The role of situational awareness in workflow and patient safety in the perioperative arena.
- The best practices for surgical efficiency and patient safety during the patient’s surgical journey.
- How real-time data collection improves performance.
During a question-and-answer session, one question was, “As we begin to improve our situational awareness, what is the one area or department we should prioritize?” Another question was, “I’ve tried speaking up, but I get pushback from surgeons. Do you have any suggestions?”
The complete Q&A is available in the on-demand version of the webinar at ORTodayWebinars.live.
The webinar was well received by attendees.
