How Waitemata DHB revolutionised their IV audit process
Understand how IPC teams can quickly and effectively identify compliance issues and provide real-time feedback, enable high staff engagement and rapidly develop effective quality improvement strategies at the ward level.
During this free on-demand webinar, we’ll hear from Sandi Gamon, the Quality Lead & IPC CNS at Waitemata DHB, New Zealand.
