AORN Syntegrity® is developed and maintained by nursing informatics experts to solve very serious challenges in the operating room; the kind of challenges that keep nurses from effective scheduling, accurate documentation, or the time they need to provide comprehensive patient care.
“The efficient flow of accurate data is vital to the health and safety of working conditions in the OR, and vital to the health and safety of our patients,” explains Janice Kelly, MS, RN-BC, president, AORN Syntegrity Inc.
Informatics specialists like ours are always learning. There are new procedure codes to be understood and adopted, as well as documentation templates to be deduplicated, reformatted and implemented. We believe in the power of continuous learning. And that’s why we are pleased to sponsor free online education resources from Pfiedler Education
Free eLearning from Pfiedler Education and AORN Syntegrity
If you or your perioperative team is experiencing one or more of these challenges, you’ll want to access our free eBook and eLearning webinars via the Pfiedler online catalog:
- Deficiencies in interoperability
- Unconscious bias
- Documentation burden
You can also access these free nursing education resources if you want to learn more about the basics of informatics, or how you can use data to enhance operations at your healthcare facility.
“Pfiedler’s mission to provide pathways to best practice through education is echoed throughout our partnership with AORN Syntegrity,” says Mindy Whalen, MSN, RN, CEN, senior director of education at Pfiedler. “The programs we have developed together help nurses on many fronts - including how to deliver more efficient and equal care to patients, and have been made available in convenient online formats.”
Echoes Kelly, “It makes perfect sense for AORN Syntegrity to sponsor this type of continuing education for nurses through AORN and Pfiedler. AORN was recently named one of America’s Top Online Learning Providers by Newsweek.
“Perioperative nurses are busy. They need one trusted source for information and education, and this is it. We could not be prouder of this sponsorship.”
