Description:

Tubing misconnections have caused disastrous consequences to patients and their families as well as to the institution and individual clinicians involved. Supply chain leaders can help reduce that risk by converting to the ISO 80369-3 (ENFit) small bore connectors.

Join our panel of thought leaders as we discuss firsthand accounts of misconnections and the subsequent need for conversion. Learn how your organization can overcome potential obstacles and barriers through the implementation successes others have achieved. Consider various strategies and lessons learned along with implementation tools and resources you can use for successful conversion.

Cost, Quality, and Outcomes (CQO) Movement Tie-in: Conversion to the ISO 80369-3 (ENFit) small bore connectors ties with the quality of patient care and the financial outcomes stemming from that patient care.

 
Target Audience:
