It’s time to Huddle Up – and get ready for the Season 13 Premier of First Case! This season is dedicated to covering all those safety topics you might hear covered quickly in a morning meeting or in more detail in a staff meeting, and Chris and Melanie are going to keep you learning all season long! In today’s episode, Chris teaches us a new way to look at the acronym S.I.D.S. (Seal, Indicator, Date, Strikethrough) and outlines the steps for opening sterile items. We’re also going to highlight the benefits of a morning huddle and show you why it’s so important to communicate with your team. Don’t miss this exciting start to Season 13!
