Communication, teamwork and collaborative care are key components of what we do at CCI Anesthesia. Providing excellent patient care is our top priority, and we believe in supporting our team members, providing opportunities for collaborative conversations and offering educational experiences that propel their practice forward.
Here, we’ll explore some of the ways that CCI Anesthesia works to prioritize patient safety.
Ensuring Safety in Perioperative Care
Meticulous attention to detail in the perioperative phase is key to positive patient outcomes. At CCI, our team members utilize evidence-based best practices to ensure that each patient receives the science-backed care they deserve.
Anesthesia teams need to work as a cohesive unit to provide optimal care, and our collaborative communication ensures that all team members are aware of patient needs. We’re constantly working to increase workflow efficiency to allow our care providers to utilize available resources and minimize patient risk.
Minimizing Medication Errors in Anesthesia
A 2019 study on the root cause of anesthesia errors showed that a lack of communication between team members can be dangerous—or even fatal—for patients. According to the study’s findings, “The cornerstone in the operating room environment is communication, especially as the patient’s data is accumulated and changed continuously during a patient’s anesthesia.”
The Joint Commission agrees, stating that medical errors cause more deaths than breast cancer, diabetes and accidents. CCI Anesthesia mitigates risks by continuing provider education, using ever-evolving technology, high-level communication and stringent protocols to ensure improved patient outcomes.
Supporting Clinicians to Enhance Patient Care
A 2020 study from the Ohio State University College of Nursing showed that patient outcomes are the same when clinician well-being suffers. At CCI, our team believes in providing ongoing support for a healthy work-life balance to our providers. When our providers care for themselves, they can better care for their patients.
