iLearning Recorded Webinar
Scope School from A to Z
Overview
Recent research has identified an education gap in staff responsible for flexible endoscope reprocessing, resulting in increased rates of human error. The increasing level of complexity of flexible endoscopes requires meticulous attention to detail when cleaning. This learner-paced continuing education activity will provide information regarding the functions and challenges of flexible endoscope reprocessing. Participants will enhance their knowledge of flexible endoscopes and potential areas of processing challenge areas
This learner-paced education activity is intended primarily for RNs with a responsibility for or an interest in ensuring safe patient care in the endoscopy suite and endoscope processing area. The presentation will also be of interest to allied healthcare personnel and MDs involved in endoscopy.
