How many times have you said, “Wow, that audit saved a life”? With clinical audits, that can certainly be the case. Clinical audits can save lives by identifying gaps in safety protocols, improving patient experience, and reducing care costs. Despite their crucial role in patient safety and quality efforts, clinical audits often are not included in organizations’ internal audit plans.

Join Kodiak’s clinical audit experts for this essential webinar, which will help you identify five top clinical risk areas to focus on now. Walk through the precise steps of clinical audits in some of the highest-risk areas facing your organization. With an eye toward current industry trends, our experts will help you see where your biggest clinical risks are and where internal audit can close risk gaps and foster a continuous improvement culture.

 At the end of this webinar, you will be able to:

Evaluate the biggest clinical risk areas within your organization: Find out where to start looking and how to determine which audits will bring the greatest value to your organization.
Analyze five top clinical audits: Review five clinical audits—device disinfection, instrument sterilization, surgical safety, behavioral health, and behavioral health coding—including steps you can use and how each audit can benefit your organization.
Recognize the importance of collaboration: Determine whether your organization has the right internal audit expertise in-house to thoroughly conduct clinical audits and discuss how collaborating with other departments or utilizing third-party audit specialists can bolster your efforts.

With so many clinical areas within your organization—and so little time and resources—it can be challenging to know where to focus your attention to achieve the most value. You’ll leave this webinar with leading clinical audit practices to begin implementing right away and information about how Kodiak’s experts can elevate your clinical audits even further.
