Sterilization Recommended Practice: Based on Evidence
Speaker: Cynthia Spry, MSN, MA,RN,CNOR,CSIT
Date: June 7, 2012
Time: 1pm (PT); 2pm (MT); 3pm (CT); 4pm (ET)
Overview:
For years AORN’s Recommended Practices have provided perioperative nurses with best practice information they need to provide the highest quality of care for the surgical patient. This webinar will address the Sterilization RP revisions and new evidence rating. The AORN Recommended Practices are widely recognized and highly regarded throughout the world. That recognition and regard is poised to increase as a result of a new model for their development. Recommended Practices, although extensively referenced, will now be truly evidence-based. Where there is evidence, it will be indicated. Where evidence is lacking, that too will be indicated. Based on the supporting evidence or lack of supporting evidence, recommendations for implementation will be rated from “Recommended for Practice” to “Effectiveness not established.”
Objectives:
- Describe the new process for development of an AORN Recommended Practice
- Discuss the potential impact of this process on the perioperative nurse and the profession of perioperative nursing
- Explore content of 2012 RP for Sterilization

Methods to capitalize on opportunities while avoiding pitfalls are provided.

Recommended Practices Next Generation: Rating the Evidence
Speakers: Ramona Conner, MSN, RN, CNOR; Paula Graling DNP, RN, CNS, CNOR
Date: August 7, 2012
Time: 1pm (PT); 2pm (MT); 3pm (CT); 4pm (ET)
Overview:
Evidence-based practice assists perioperative nurses in providing high-quality patient care based on research and knowledge, rather than because "we've always done it this way." A key factor in developing evidence-based recommended practices is assessing the strength of the evidence gained from the applied scientific methodology and rating the level of evidence supporting the recommendations. This presentation will impart the new process for rating the level of evidence used in supporting the AORN Recommended Practices.
Objectives:
- Illustrate the Johns Hopkins Nursing Evidence Based Practice tools used to appraise each reference
- Describe the Oncology Nursing Society Putting Evidence into Practice (PEP) schema
- Demonstrate the adaption of these models into the RP authoring system for evidence rating of the AORN Recommended Practices
