| Correct Site Surgery Tool Kit |
|
AORN has developed a Correct Site Surgery Tool Kit 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. Richard Croteau, The Joint Commission Executive Director for Patient Safety, commented,
"AORN's Correct Site Surgery Tool Kit is an excellent aid to transforming the principles embodied in the Universal Protocol into the day-to-day, hands-on practice of providing safe care to surgical patients. The emphasis on team functioning and the practical 'how-to' tips for implementing the requirements are invaluable and should be part of the orientation and training of every perioperative nurse."
AORN members may download the Correct Site Surgery Tool Kit documents.
Non-Members may purchase an informational CD-ROM and pocket reference guide from the AORN Perioperative Bookstore.
