IHI Webinar - Is your Emergency Department Ready for H1N1?

According to the American College of Emergency Physicians, “No emergency department is exempt from the risk of an H1N1 outbreak. Emergency departments could see 150% of normal volume of respiratory complaints.” How can your emergency department prepare to meet this surge in demand in the coming months – and meet these three goals at once:
Rapidly identifying and treating infected patients; Protecting others in the ED from being exposed; and Optimizing the use of staff and space to meet this extraordinary demand.
To help you develop a standardized operational approach to both manage flow and maintain patient safety, the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) is offering Is Your Emergency Department Ready for H1N1? This 90-minute webinar is designed to teach you how to optimize patient flow and maximize your existing staffing and space in order to manage your ED effectively during its busiest times.
This webinar will be offered on two separate dates; you can enroll for a session on October 1 or October 15.For more information about this program, or to enroll, please click here.
