Description
Summary:Continuous improvement helps to provide solutions to pressing problems, facilitate adjustment to a rapidly changing environment, and identify opportunities to further improve processes that are working well. TALKING ABOUT SURGICAL SMOKE Launched in the March 2020 issue in the Periop Briefing section, this new and timely series written by Jennifer Pennock, MS, senior manager in the AORN Government Affairs Department, focuses on surgical smoke evacuation legislation and policy and provides helpful insights and tools for advocacy efforts related to surgical smoke evacuation. Written by Terri Link, MPH, BSN, CNOR, CIC, CAIP, FAPIC, product manager of Guideline Implementation tools at AORN, this series is designed to help clinicians understand the new AORN guideline recommendation levels (ie, regulatory requirement, recommendation, conditional recommendation, no recommendation) and to guide them, using realistic scenarios, in the process of evaluating and determining how to apply the guidelines based on their facility's circumstances and the patient populations being served.
