Objectives

After attending the webinar, attendees will be able to:

1. Distinguish between usual practice, an Emergency Standard of Care and a Triage Protocol for access to critical care

2. Understand the conditions which would trigger and Emergency Standard of Care on and off

3. Design and practice implementation of the Emergency Standard of Care locally so that physicians are prepared for implementation.

We ask that you please share this invite with your colleagues as you prepare to integrate the Emergency Standard of Care into practice. To further share key learning points highlighted during each webinar, we encourage teams to schedule time to debrief and discuss how the information will inform or be incorporated into practices in your hospital. The webinars will also be recorded and made available on the CCSO website along with supporting documentation.
