AONL On-Demand Webinars: Implementing Evidence-Based Practice Changes AND Making Them Sticky

Description

Clinicians must integrate evidence-based practices into patient care, including diagnostic procedures like blood cultures. However, nearly half of positive results are false due to contamination from controllable (e.g., prep errors) and uncontrollable (e.g., skin flora) factors. These errors lead to unnecessary antibiotics, complications, and nearly 1 million extra hospital days annually (NQF). This webinar emphasizes the cost of diagnostic inaccuracy and introduces a proven blood culture collection bundle that reduces contamination and supports antimicrobial stewardship. Attendees will learn how to implement and sustain best practices using change management, implementation science, and quality improvement strategies.
