Euthanasia Rounds: What went wrong? Creating an open forum for discussion and improvement

7:00-8:00pm ET

Like Morbidity and Mortality rounds of human hospitals, euthanasia rounds at veterinary practices help teams determine what went wrong and learn from mistakes.
What might be even more important will be the opportunity for staff to voice concerns and share their emotions in real time. We aim to find a way to give meaning to the past by learning and improving for the future. It’s also helpful to discuss what went right, to highlight the successes of staff members, and pay tribute to beloved patients. In this session, we’ll discuss how to create, structure, and facilitate these important meetings.
An introduction to CAETA’s new Euthanasia Review Department will be included in the lecture.
