Providing the Best Value Care to Our Patients
Webinar Date: August 27, 2020
Activity Overview
Critical Care Providers need to understand and manage new and current developments in critical care medicine to deliver optimal patient care. Providers struggling with systemic support of patient care protocols and staffing management will seek to improve their ability to provide support to their patients and staff to increase value and provide structure and direction to their provider teams.
This webinar is part of a series designed to provide new strategies for learners across several specialty-specific clinical areas to access and integrate new information, treatment protocols, and therapies within their scope of practice and apply that information to patient care and staffing management.
This webinar is a live activity using virtual panel discussions with Q&A and interaction from the audience to teach strategies to implement into critical care practice.
Target Audience
This activity is intended for anesthesiologists, specialty physicians, and physician educators in general anesthesia, critical care, trauma, and transplant settings.
Educational Objectives
