Standardize Documentation with the PNDS

The most efficient documentation templates available.

PNDS (Perioperative Nursing Data Set) with Documentation Benefits

Optimized, evidence-based documentation is essential for patient safety, meeting regulatory standards, and enhancing process efficiency. Developed by perioperative clinicians and based on the AORN Guidelines for Perioperative Practice, the PNDS and documentation solutions are sold together. This combination provides the foundation for optimized patient care, analytics, and protecting your nursing staff.
