interest to clinicians.
Pre-op Use of CHG Cloths Potentially Decreases Healthcare Costs
Researchers say the use of CHG cloths prior to total knee arthroplasty has
demonstrated the potential to decrease healthcare costs primarily by
decreasing the incidence of surgical site infections. The authors of a study published in The Journal of Arthroplasty found that the cost benefit of using
CHG cloths per 1,000 total knee arthroplasty patients provided their
institution with a net savings of approximately $2.1 million. Further, the authors concluded that the annual healthcare cost savings could be as high
as $3.8 billion. View the abstract | View the article (requires log in)

PeriAnesthesia Standards for Practice 3
Update:
We are in need of BC Reviewers for our next
version of our Standards. Our French translator is
ready to translate each section as we complete it,
but we require that the Standards be reviewed in
English first.
We will be asking Reviewers to look at only small
portions of our Standards, so that it isn’t an onerous
task for anyone. The more reviewers, the smaller
portion we will have for each to review.
The reviewers need to represent all jurisdictions of
the country. We need BC representation.
If you are interested, please contact PANBC asap.
Thanks
Dear SQAN community,
A learning board is a tool that encourages frontline input, keeps
everyone in the loop about improvement, and allows leaders to
see all this information at a glance. It sounds too good to be
true… but we found a group that’s done it!
Mimi Huizinga led the charge to spread learning boards across
the LifePoint health system as the VP of Quality. They
transformed the relationship between the frontline and
leadership, allowing everyone to play a role in improvement.
Join us to find out how they did it!
Learning Boards – How Can We Harness the Potential?
Wednesday, October 2

Vanderbilt, formerly VP Quality at LifePoint

Standards Update : We are in need of Reviewers for our next version of Standards. Our translator is ready to translate each section as we complete it, but we require that the Standards be reviewed in English first. As they are translated, then Reviewer(s) in French can begin reviewing these as well. We will be asking Reviewers to look at only small portions of our Standards, so that it isn’t an onerous task for anyone. The more reviewers, the smaller portion for each to review. The reviewers need to represent all jurisdictions of the country.
