Invasive Procedure Course - March 7, 2020
Overview
As the medical field continues to change the procedural skills needed by providers is increasing, especially in the emergency department. Patient outcomes are not only a personal driver but a financial driver in healthcare, and patient outcomes are directly tied to provider training. In the essence of providing the highest level of patient care to promote the best patient outcomes, providers need training on performing invasive procedures past their training in medical school and residency.

The focus of this training is on venous/arterial access, diagnostic procedures, wound care, and resuscitation procedures and is designed for Prisma Health Emergency Department employees, however the skills are applicable to other providers in the community.
This activity will also consist of a minimum of 4.5 hours of pre-course work such as reading and videos for each learner to complete prior to the on-site activities.
