Mitigating Risk with the Advent of Wireless Nurse Call Systems

Event Schedule by Time Zone: 
Pacific: 10 AM to 11 AM | Mountain: 11 AM to 12 PM | Central: 12 PM to 1 PM | Eastern: 1 PM to 2 PM

As hospitals consider replacing wired nurse call systems with wireless technology, understanding the associated risks becomes critical. This webinar equips Health Care Risk Professionals with the knowledge to navigate regulatory changes, evaluate deployment options, and implement best practices for safety and efficiency.

Learning Objectives:

1. Identify leading areas of obstetric clinical and system risk that impact patient safety and contribute to liability exposure
2. Describe how risk managers can proactively mitigate obstetric risk through policy, monitoring, and collaboration with perinatal teams
3. Apply practical strategies to improve readiness and response to obstetric emergencies, while building resilience and reliability within obstetric care systems
