AORN Education and Upcoming Events

AORN's annual conference will bring thousands of perioperative nurses and professionals from across the globe for four days of education, inspiration, networking and celebration.

This ambulatory surgery center online course is the latest addition to the series of AORN Leadership Guides developed for ASC administrators, to help them successfully comply with ASC regulations, ASC reporting requirements, and run a safe and profitable surgery center.

Part of the ASC Academy Leadership Guides series, this course provides ASC leaders with the knowledge, skills, and tools necessary to plan, conduct and evaluate the effectiveness of emergency drills: fire, local anesthetic systemic toxicity, active shooter, cardiac arrest, hospital transfer, and malignant hyperthermia.

This interactive course is the ambulatory surgery center (ASC) leader's go-to resource for navigating the annual ASC Quality Reporting submission, which is vital to the success of your surgery center.

This comprehensive ASC administrator course helps new ambulatory surgery leaders to hit the ground running. It helps administrators pinpoint and prioritize the most crucial duties in their first year and provides supporting education to help you tackle these responsibilities like an experienced administrator.

Unlock the secrets to expanding service lines. Get the step-by-step process -- from market analysis to implementation, with facility, financial, & staffing considerations -- to navigate growth in the ASC.

This course provides comprehensive knowledge on evidence-based practices and strategies to fulfill regulatory and accreditation requirements, including the initiation and administration of an Infection Control Program.

Plan your response to growing demand for minimally invasive surgery. Identify opportunities and explore strategies for expanding service lines and surgical settings that optimize staff and investment in robotics.

Evidence-based practice (EBP) is fundamental to quality patient care. It provides clinicians the tools needed to promote safer patient care and positive patient outcomes in all care settings.

Hear panelists from across the country talk about their own experiences and best practices for how they built a positive culture within their robotics service lines. Their insights around training, using data for change management, and standardizing care that reduces burdens are ones you can use to scale throughout your own facility.

In this keynote presentation leaders will learn practical tools and strategies they can immediately implement to address workplace violence, bullying, and incivility within the healthcare environment. When leaders are equipped to address disruptive behaviors, employees stay, and patients achieve better outcomes.

Understand which data you need to support and grow your program; know exactly which instruments are being used or not; and quickly make evidence-based changes to reduce variations and limit waste.

At this webinar, you will discover how standardized workflows in robotic surgery can boost efficiency, reduce variability, and set your entire surgical team up for long-term success.

Take the first step to recognize, address, and eradicate the prevalent, disruptive behaviors that could be undermining your workforce culture. Designed for frontline healthcare leaders, this self-study is designed to help you cultivate a professional, supportive and respectful workforce culture.
