The Virtual Centre of Excellence for Implementation of a PICO PathwayIntroduction to the Virtual Centre of Excellence
To support the successful implementation of incisional NPWT into your surgical care pathway we have developed an online preceptorship – the Virtual Centre of Excellence - also separated by surgical speciality with dedicated content.
A consensus publication was developed by an internationally recognised expert panel experienced in establishing and embedding the prophylactic use of PICO sNPWT as the standard post-operative management for the prevention SSCs.
Learning Objectives
- How to establish a case for changing to incisional NPWT prophylaxis using PICO sNPWT with benchmark auditing of SSC outcomes and business case development.
- Help to optimise outcomes by accurate identification of the most appropriate patient group at risk of developing SSCs based upon pre-operative risk assessment.
- Best practice sharing to enable successful implementation of bespoke closed surgical incision management pathways and protocols using PICO sNPWT within the surgical care pathway including practical tools, pragmatic tactics and compliance support.
- How to help drive consistency and reduce variation in the delivery of closed surgical incision management pathways using PICO sNPWT through protocol expansion into multiple surgical specialities and care settings.
