Get the Point about Safe Injections

Thursday, June 16, 2016 | 12:00pm - 1:00pm CDT

Injection safety should be a part of everyday patient care. Unsafe injections have been a concern of the CDC and SIPC for some time. Even though a large scale promotion of safe injection practices has not been a recent push, there continues to be interest around this topic. As the delivery sites for patient care change, our techniques for safe injection practices should continue to be aligned with care. This webinar will cover some recent information around unsafe injection practices and provide insight into best practices.
