PAMI: Pain Assessment and Management Initiative
This course will define the Pain Assessment and Management Initiative (PAMI) program and discuss why it is necessary for effective acute and chronic pain management. It will establish how pain is difficult to recognize and explore the differences in pain treatment for adults and children. Resources for alternative methods to medication will be discussed, and evidence-based guidelines will be shared that document how PAMI can be used to improve pain management and reduce risk. Course expiration date: 2/20/2026

Reduce the Risk of Contaminating the OR Back Table
Contamination in the operating room (OR) is primarily prevented by heating ventilation, and air conditioning systems, cleaning and disinfecting environmental surfaces, wearing appropriate surgical attire, and implementing sterile technique. This course will identify and discuss sources of contamination, describe current and former AORN recommendations related to covering and observing sterile tables, discuss techniques for reducing contamination, including covering back tables, and identify the major findings of a survey of 857 perioperative RNs.

Post Operative Pain Management and Opioid Considerations
Postoperative pain management in the ambulatory surgery setting requires nurses to identify the fundamental and assessment techniques to effectively manage patient pain by utilizing multimodal techniques, which focus on the goals of patient recovery, early mobilization, and prevention of avoidable complications by becoming familiar with updated pain management guidelines and opioid use minimization.
Traditional methods of postoperative pain management have shifted from pain-relieving regimens to a multimodal approach, with the goal to reduce or eliminate pain with minimal side effects, reduce reliance on opioids, and improve pain scores. There is a national consensus on reducing the use of opioids by following consensus guidelines and the effective use of alternatives developed by government agencies and key healthcare industry stakeholders.
In this course, participants will be provided an update on the goals of pain management, patient assessment guidelines, multimodal therapies, and patient population-specific risk factors. The course will also provide an overview of suggested organizational policies and procedures, roles, and responsibilities as well as management of orders and documentation requirements. We will summarize the recommendations and discuss mitigating risks during transitions of care and the importance of patient and caregiver education. Course expiration date: 2/14/2026

Fundamentals of Surgical Instrumentation
The purpose of this course is to enhance your understanding of the importance of how the instruments are manufactured, cleaned, inspected, and prepared for use in surgery according to the latest regulatory guidelines. Proper care and use of surgical instruments is critical for patient safety and outcomes. Approximately 1.7 million Healthcare-Associated Infections occur in U.S. hospitals each year, resulting in 99,000 deaths and an estimated $20 billion in healthcare costs. There are approximately 157,000 surgical site infections. Proper care and handling of Instrumentation plays a major role in preventing infections. This course will provide sterile processing workers the knowledge needed for optimum handling care of surgical grade instruments, and how to properly prepare instruments for surgery.

Pain and Pain Management
Pain and pain management is complex and is one of the most important functions of a health care provider. In this course, you will learn about the different types of pain and pain management strategies. Pain may be acute or chronic and be nociceptive or neuropathic in origin. To manage pain, an understanding of the different types of pain and the pathophysiology behind the pain will aid you in performing a thorough pain assessment. Recognizing the mechanisms of nerve conduction and the phases of the pain process will help you differentiate from acute and chronic pain. You will review the methods available for the treatment of acute and chronic pain, common pain management modalities, common adjuvants used for the management of pain and you will identify alternate pain management strategies. Your understanding of the different types of pain and management strategies will facilitate the diagnosis and treatment plan for your patients pain management.
