Timothy Adams, Benjamin Leutze, Joanna Lynch. Medical telemetry is used in most hospitals and many outpatient facilities. This session explores the usage of medical telemetry, including the need for it to be able to operate interference-free from other radio frequency sources.

The Joint Commission is now stressing the need to maximize technology during surveys to minimize contact. Many hospitals around the country still believe that surveyors prefer paper documentation and have resisted the move to electronic document management. Educate yourself on the facts, and get ready for virtual surveys as the new normal by learning from Joint Commission veterans George Mills and Jason Beers.

Renee Bryce, Melanie Petherick, Rick Burns. Virginia Mason’s main electrical room (MER) upgrade project team leads (electrical contractor, hospital design/construction and emergency management) will discuss the MER project, methodologies for shutdown risk assessment and planning, improvement strategies, real-time redline as-built document updates and collaboration, communications, tools and templates developed, and lessons learned along the way.

This session will cover the process of implementing a barrier management protocol. We will discuss what quality standard operating practice for barriers could look like and additional tools that can be used to achieve compliance.

This presentation first examines available VR tools and assessments given varying user group dynamics.

From the 2020 PDC Webinar Series. Identify the key decision points when evaluating whether to have your central sterile department on campus or to relocate to an off-site location, and more.

ASHE's medical air testing tool is the key to a reliable and efficient medical gas system.
