FREE! 8 Steps to Becoming a CRNA: https://www.cspaedu.com/3m9jgffp

A report from the Joint Commission reveals that 80% of serious medical errors are related to miscommunication during the transfer of care. There is a need to standardize a safe handoff process in the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU). This episode’s guest is helping our nursing tribe overcome this issue. Jenny Finnell sits down with Cathy Zuniga, the founder of PACU Nursing Minutes—your Perianesthesia nursing education resource! Cathy shares with us how she hopes to streamline the handoff process, providing us access to some of her tools and resources so we can implement them in our work and improve patient outcomes. Join this insightful conversation and get your hands on one of the most thorough PACU reports.
