This webinar will discuss the key role risk managers play to prevent opioid-induced respiratory compromise.

This educational offering is designed specifically for the health care risk management professional responsible for risk management strategies in an acute care facility. The rate of preventable harm and death due to post-operative respiratory failure is 7.35% nationally. Risk management professionals play a key role in designing a risk management strategy that can mitigate this preventable serious safety event, improve clinical outcomes and, by reducing litigation claims, preserve financial assets for their organizations.

Objectives:

  • • Define and explain respiratory compromise, opioid induced respiratory depression, opioid-induced sedation and advancing respiratory depression, opioid stewardship.
  • • Understand the importance of improving our current Respiratory Compromise prevention paradigms.
  • • Explain the medical-legal trends and issues regarding postoperative respiratory depression claims.
  • • Describe a risk management strategy to mitigate the threat of opioid induced-respiratory compromise in a postoperative patient.
