Healthcare delivery is complex and there are so many factors that affect the quality of care. This is of paramount importance in the Emergency Room where the nature of urgency and criticality itself sparks the element of risk, unpredictability and focus on effectiveness rather than efficiency.

Thinking on your feet and results depending on the team rather than an individual alone is the essence of a successful ER. Establishing  standards treatment guidelines/ protocols/ pathways, monitoring Key Performance Indicators and upskilling the team to work together as a well-orchestrated symphony can help to improve patient care and  outcomes. This workshop aims at equipping physicians, nursing staff and administrators in understanding  the basics of Quality Assurance & Continual Improvement strategies in ER with respect to structure process and outcomes.  If it cannot be measured, it cannot be managed – Peter Drucke

WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS WORKSHOP?

The American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) defines procedural sedation as"a technique of administering sedatives or dissociative agents with or without ana lgesics to induce a state that allows the patient to tolerate unpleasant procedures while maintaining cardiorespiratory function."

PURPOSE OF THIS WORKSHOP

- To allow clinicians to adopt a SAFE, effective & systematic approach to sedation
- Team-based education & communication.
- We also want this workshop to serve as a good governance tool towards the practice of SAFE sedation, emphasizing on the need for a standardized approach

1. Emphasizing on making procedural sedation SAFE

2. Early recognition of complications/ potential complications when undertaking procedural sedation

3. Understanding how the recommended approach promotes SAFE procedural sedation

4. Understanding the role and importance of governance in SAFE procedural sedation practice using simulated scenarios

5. Aiming at reinforcing and supporting these objectives & ultimately to give a system that can be employed for adverse events
