Program Description:

An opportunity to fully engage in education as it applies to your own practice.

Performance improvement continuing education activities have the goal of moving beyond acquisition of knowledge to application of knowledge in professional practice. By taking learning a new fact or procedure to the level of actually putting it into practice, it is moving from simply “knowing” to “knowing how” and actually “doing”.

But it is more than this. It is thinking about and developing measures to assess the outcomes of the changes in clinical practice made as a result of a continuing education activity, implementing the change in practice, and evaluating the outcome.



Target Audience:

This activity is intended for participants of the live meeting or on demand replay of the satellite symposia "The Evolution of Antibiotic Therapy for the Treatment of Gram Negative Infections" to meet the needs of infectious disease specialists, critical care/pulmonologists, surgeons, pharmacists, nurses and other members of the health care practitioner team who have an interest in the management of Gram-negative infections.



Learning Objectives:

Upon completion of this application and performance activity, participants should be able to:

  • Reflect upon the learning experience and how it relates to their day-to-day professional practice.

  • Identify a change or changes you contemplate could be made in your day-to-day professional practice as result of something learned in this learning activity that could improve patient care outcomes.

  • Describe how the change(s) in the care of a patient could be implemented and assessed.

  • Summarize and evaluate the results of the change or changes in the care of a patient.
