No one knows the O.R. better.

At its best, the operating room is a place where precise processes and teamwork come together to create a perfect system for patient care. But behind the double doors, technology constantly changes. Procedures evolve. And human personalities create challenges for even the best perioperative environments. AORN Works improves the performance of perioperative departments. We provide onsite consulting and placement of perioperative executives in interim and permanent positions. As a subsidiary company resource of the Association of periOperative Registered Nurses (AORN), our exclusive focus is the improvement of systems, relationships and outcomes in the perioperative arena.

Mission

Our mission is to provide customers with expert resources and solutions grounded in AORN standards and recommended practices that will enhance safe patient care and support optimal outcomes in the perioperative setting.

Vision

To be the premier organization providing perioperative experts and resource solutions to health care facilities and industry partners.

VALUES

We strive to be responsive to our customers’ evolving needs by providing ethical, timely, and cost-effective services that are rooted in best practices.

History

Opportunity was originally launched as AORN's resource for job placement and consulting services. By 2003 the department had grown and it transformed into a for-profit entity called AORN Management Solutions. In 2008 the name AORN Works was adopted to highlight our focus on improving how perioperative environments work.
