New Perspectives on Traditional ICU Education Topics: A Series of Snap Talks

Webinar Date: November 19, 2020

Activity Overview

Critical Care Providers need to understand and manage new and current developments in critical care medicine to deliver optimal patient care. Providers struggling with systemic support of patient care protocols and staffing management will seek to improve their ability to provide support to their patients and staff to increase value and provide structure and direction to their provider teams.

This webinar is part of a series designed to provide new strategies for learners across several specialty-specific clinical areas to access and integrate new information, treatment protocols, and therapies within their scope of practice and apply that information to patient care and staffing management.

This webinar is a live activity using virtual panel discussions with Q&A and interaction from the audience to teach strategies to implement into critical care practice.

Target Audience

This activity is intended for anesthesiologists, specialty physicians, and physician educators in general anesthesia, critical care, trauma, and transplant settings.

Educational Objectives

As a result of participation in this CME activity learners will be able to:

  1. Implement new strategies and protocols in the critical care sphere to increase standardization and personalization of patient-specific medicine to improve patient outcomes and provide the best care while increasing value, quality, and safety for both patients and staff.
  2. Apply knowledge and resources to provide end of life care and considerations for organ donation and recovery. Demonstrate tact when managing patient and family conversations surrounding end of life care and brain death.
  3. Develop strategies for critical care team support outside the ICU. Design and implement tactics to prevent need for resuscitative efforts and to prepare for disaster and capacity management with strategic planning.
  4. Examine traditional ICU education and provide new strategies to improve outcomes of common critical care issues.
