AORN SYNTEGRITY® Standardized Perioperative Framework
AORN SYNTEGRITY Framework creates efficiency in documentation workflow using a hierarchal data model and standardized lookup table values, and builds relationships between each phase of perioperative care using standardized PNDS data elements.
Healthcare reform is at the forefront of everyone's mind with the issue of how meaningful Use will be determined for health information systems. To meet this criteria, electronic health records (EHR) with meaningful use will need to be executed to demonstrate improved patient quality, safety, efficiency and reduced health disparities, and be able to deliver feedback to providers. Based on EHR meaningful use criteria, perioperative nurses need to find a unified voice and method to provide evidenced-based information.
The AORN SYNTEGRITY Framework is a complement to the electronic healthcare record and is designed to provide a consistent and reliable documentation data model across the continuum of perioperative patient care. Encompassing the Perioperative Nursing Data Set (PNDS), the AORN SYNTEGRITY Framework is intended to integrate fulfillment of the perioperative nursing care plan, nursing documentation and standards compliance tracking.
• AORN SYNTEGRITY Framework is a clinical support system that fulfills the perioperative nursing plan of care, nursing documentation and standards compliance tracking
• PNDS is embedded into AORN SYNTEGRITY Framework which provides a consistent and reliable documentation model across the continuum of the perioperative patient care experience
• AORN SYNTEGRITY Framework complements the electronic healthcare record and provides for an easy and less-costly approach to updating or developing standardized look up tables and workflow
Whether planning to move from paper documentation to an electronic health record or to enhance your current electronic information system, he AORN SYNTEGRITY Framework assists with the implementation process and helps maintain current documentation requirements and compliance with practice standards. The AORN SYNTEGRITY Framework creates efficiency in documentation workflow through the use of a hierarchal data model and standardized lookup table values, and builds relationships between each phase of perioperative care using the standardized PNDS data elements.
