AORN Position Statement
In 2014, the Association of periOperative Registered Nurses (AORN) released a position statement on the role of the Health Care Industry Representative in the perioperative setting.
- AORN recognizes that Health Care Industry Representatives (HCIRs) bring their knowledge and expertise to the operating room, but believes that there must be restrictions on their role within that setting
- Representatives should work in conjunction with the Perioperative Nurse and Perioperative AdministratorThe Perioperative Nurse is responsible:
- To carry out all core nursing activities
- To verify that the patient has been informed about the presence of health care industry representative
- To monitor the representative and facilitate their services to the team
- The Preoperative Administrator is responsible:
- To make sure the representative is educated on all procedures and technology that will be encountered in the operating room
- To develop policies and procedures that define the representative's role within the OR
Course Content Example 2:
Practices to Reduce the Spread of Transmissible Infections
- Prior to entering the operating room, all personnel should perform hand hygieneThis is the most effective method of preventing and reducing the spread of infection
All personnel entering the OR should wear:
- Clean scrubs
- Clean or single-use long sleeved jacket with cuffs down to the wrist
- Surgical head covers that cover all hair, scalp, facial hair and hair at the nape of the neck
- Surgical mask to cover the mouth or nose when open, sterile supplies are present
Proper attire decreases the shedding and dispersal of bacteria, protecting the patient and the surgical site
