Foundation About Us

The questions, concerns, and issues in the OR that drive your company's product development, customer service tactics, and problem-solving initiatives are the same that drive AORN's work to develop the evidence-based Perioperative Standards and Recommended Practices (RPs) and cutting-edge educational programs. Working together AORN and industry can help to  improve patient outcomes.   

Focus On Collaboration

"Product Selection: Key Considerations" provides a great reference for facilitating discussion and information sharing for industry and nurses alike. This booklet was developed by AORN to drive informed conversations between industry professionals and nurses as they seek solutions to challenges in the OR.

Understand the RPs

The AORN Perioperative Standards and Recommend Practices (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 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.  

ORNurseLink

Launched in early 2010, this online community is a growing channel for operating room professionals to connect with each other and exchange helpful resources, ideas, and practices. ORNurseLink is accessed via more than 3,800 unique visits per month with more than 68,000 page views.
