There is SAFETY in Numbers

Patient safety may seem like it's all about the numbers—the number of courses completed or how often one demonstrates competency to be re-certified. More is always better. But the most important number is 100% of your workforce—confident and engaged. Keeping each patient safe. Every time.

Infections with resistant organisms are difficult to treat, requiring costly and sometimes toxic alternatives. Dr. Srinivasan will address how best to prevent healthcare associated infections and combat antibiotic resistance.
