Translating Infection Reduction To Operational And Financial Metrics: Follow the Yellow Brick Road
Program Date/Time: Tuesday, October 28, at 1 p.m. ET / 12 p.m. CT
Speaker: Connie Steed, MSN, RN, CIC, FAPIC
As we navigate the challenges of protecting our patients, it’s crucial to recognize that while resources may be limited, the opportunity to make a significant impact is still very much in our hands. To unlock essential support, Quality and Infection Prevention professionals must become adept at highlighting the full value of quality improvement (QI) initiatives. This involves identifying all the patient safety benefits and translating them into compelling metrics that matter to senior leadership including reduced LOS, increased throughput, increased revenue, and decreased costs.
Innovative methods for quantifying the impact of QI initiatives and aligning them with the priorities of organizational leadership will be discussed. A comprehensive business case example involving nasal decolonization will illustrate how to identify and quantify benefits, build a powerful value proposition, and successfully navigate the approval process. Strategies shared will give you the knowledge, tools, and confidence needed to deliver meaningful patient safety improvements. You can do it – patients are counting on you.
Learning Objectives:
- Discuss tactics for maximizing the full value of quality improvement programs.
- Identify how to present HAI reduction into metrics that are important to senior leadership including reduced LOS, increased throughput, increased revenue, decreased costs.
- Describe a case where a nasal decolonization program was used to achieve patient safety, operational and financial goals.
