NAPA’s Dr. Steven Weintraub Educates Healthcare Professionals on Remote Video Auditing at the 10th Annual Perioperative Medicine Summit
Focus on Improving Patient Safety and Compliance in the Operating Room
North American Partners in Anesthesia’s (NAPA) Steven Weintraub, MD, will be a featured speaker to health professionals engaged in management of the perioperative patient at the 10th Annual Perioperative Medicine Summit. The event will take place February 26-28, 2015 at Westin Kierland Hotel and Spa in Scottsdale, AZ.
Dr. Weintraub will present on the topic, “Remote Video Auditing (RVA) as a Patient Safety Tool in the Operating Room.” During his breakout session, Dr. Weintraub will discuss how RVA serves as a technological solution for noncompliance surrounding safety measures in perioperative care. In addition, attendees will gain insights into the benefits of RVA in the Operating Room environment, the implementation process and how it significantly enhances safety and compliance measures related to surgical time-outs, overnight terminal cleaning, as well as sign-in, time-out and sign-out performance.
“Patient safety is the cornerstone for the healthcare industry. As clinicians, we are collectively challenged to discover new ways in which we can provide the highest quality of care and an exceptional experience to our patients,” said Dr. Weintraub. “With the introduction of real-time monitoring and feedback, RVA serves as an innovative, technological solution that has proven to successfully encourage adherence to proper perioperative processes, introduces a new standard of patient safety and is a significant contributor to satisfaction levels across the service continuum.”
