This 60-minute webinar will feature Angie O’Connor, RN, BS, Director of Clinical Resources at the Encompass Group. The OR is the biggest user of medical supplies in the entire institution. AORN has been calling for the “greening” of the OR, and the decision to use disposable or reusable gowns, drapes, and mayo covers can impact cost and provider comfort. There are also environmental considerations with either application.
Join Angie as she provides an overview to the above issues and provides steps to consider in your institution when evaluating reusable gowns and drapes.
