The National Guidelines Clearinghouse recently accepted AORN’s recommended practices as nationally recognized guidelines, which led to the name chang,e according to Linda Groah, MSN, RN, the executive director and CEO of AORN. “We believe this new title for our renowned flagship product better conveys the value of our association’s recommendations for safe perioperative practice,” she says.

AORN’s Recommended Practices are evidence-based and evidence-rated according to strength and quality of evidence using the AORN Evidence Rating Model, which enables AORN to be accepted by the NGC. The NGC is a publicly available database of evidence-based clinical practice guidelines.
