AORN Specialty Assembly: PeriOperative Nursing Informatics, Technology & innovAtion (PONITA SA)

#NursingIsStem ?????? What a great AORN eChapter journal club conversation this afternoon and a gameplan to see this through. Thank you JAIMESON HATCH and Dr. Carole "Gert" Mayes PhD, RN, RN-BC, CNOR for hosting. Is it possible “ The Science of Nursing” was just left off the list by accident? Can we simply start a petition to get the list updated? Thank you Jason Garbarino, DNP, RN, GERO-BC, CNL for allowing us to post an actual petition link that has already started: https://lnkd.in/eptbt9vW Everyone, you can use this link to sign support. Let’s get the word out ??

Attention South Carolina nurses/nurse leaders!! ?? ?? I asked about voice to text charting apps that were in development and y’all answered! Of those that replied, the folks at Meru seem to have the product most in line with what I envisioned. They also have a working Beta product AND integration with Epic, Cerner, and Meditech. They have agreed to fly out and do a live demo where nurses can provide feedback both in terms of the product but also the barriers to implementation from an organizational perspective. If you are interested in learning more about this awesome technology, let me know! We’ll be meeting up in Columbia either next Friday or Saturday!!!
