“It is partnerships such as these that enable AORN to
support its membership and the entire perioperative
community with the tools they need to enhance their
professional development and to provide excellence in
patient care. Very simply put, we can’t do it without them.”
Linda Groah RN, MSN, CNOR, FAAN AORN Executive Director
Prepare outside Nurse Practitioners and PAs for your OR
Do you have outside Nurse Practitioners and Physician
Assistants with limited or no OR experience entering in your
operating room? With the advent of 76 million baby boomers
into the Medicare ranks by 2011, this trend will increase
dramatically. The result? Breaking sterile fields,
endangering the patient along with an unprecedented growth
of ‘never events’ etc.
The National
Institute of First Assisting, Inc. (NIFA®) is the
sole funder of AORN’s
Management Connections and the exclusive AORN Management
Resources Corporate Partner.
In this new role,
it is our goal to help OR management facilitate and insure
Safe Practices with programs to address this new influx of
practitioners as well as all disciplines of first assistants
in surgery.
Were you aware that NIFA
sponsored all of the Management Educational Tracks at the
56th AORN Congress in Chicago? Below are a few of those
presentations:
