2009 - Newly Revised Tool Kit
A Benefit of Membership
The AORN Foundation is integral in securing resources and administering assets that provide support for meeting AORN's strategic goals in education, research, innovations, and partnerships in perioperative surgical care. The 2009 revision of the Correct Site Surgery Tool Kit was funded in part with a charitable contribution from ETHICON, Inc. and the 3M Foundation secured through the AORN Foundation.
AORN's Correct Site Surgery Tool Kit was developed to assist health care providers in implementing The Joint Commission Universal Protocol. The tool kit contains a variety of resources to educate health care providers about the Universal Protocol and to assist them with its implementation.
