Understand the RPs

The AORN Recommend Practices and Standards (RPs) reflect the perioperative RN's scope of professional responsibility and provide essential information for the delivery of safe patient care and a safe work environment. They guide perioperative nursing practice while allowing for flexibility and adoptability in all settings where surgical and other invasive procedures are performed.

OR Protocol

As new OR technologies are developed and implemented, health care industry representatives (HCIRs) are often called upon to provide education and answer questions about products that may be in use during a surgical procedure.  AORN offers two OR Protocol programs through HealthStream that are designed to provide the HCIRs with the knowledge required to safely be in the perioperative environment.
