Wednesday, October 30, 2019 | 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. ET | 1 CE
Despite advances to optimize infection prevention, the burden of surgical site infections (SSIs) still remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. They are the costliest hospital-associated infection in hospitalized patients, totaling 1.5 million each year, and targeting prevention is a national priority.
Join us for this free webinar, where the presenters will provide an overview of the pathogenesis, classification, and management of SSIs. They will also discuss the economic impact on patients and institutions, the impact on quality of care and hospital reimbursement, and the components of a successful SSI reduction program.
