Trauma patients, especially those who experience prolonged hospitalization, can be vulnerable to pressure injuries and other hospital-acquired complications (HACs).

The challenge for trauma program leaders is that it can be difficult to identify the root causes of high complication rates. Even when the underlying issues are known, implementing effective solutions is often an uphill battle.

This webinar from November 2024 shows trauma program leaders how to identify the root causes of HACs and implement organizational changes that ensure greater patient safety.
