Description

It’s unbelievable how often “things’ happen in healthcare.

Alarms, pumps, drains, changing vent settings, tubes, equipment, technology, orders, consults, intake, output, donning, doffing, and stressed loved ones.... There are countless things to keep up with during your non-stop busy shifts.

You love the pace and intensity of the ICU. But what happens when you thought everything was done correctly, only to later find out that something important was missed? Can reportable events like pressure injuries, central line infections, and urinary infections lead to litigation? What about unanticipated events with immediate bad patient outcomes?

Join Rosale Lobo, PhD, RN, MSN, LNC, to learn what you can do today to decrease your legal risks tomorrow. Discover the secrets to keep your license and profession safe from scrutiny and litigation.
