Operating Room Protocol
The operating room is a place where everyone involved wants everything to go right, especially the patient. To that end, the Association of Operating Room Nurses, AORN, wants to make sure that everyone who enters the operating theatre has been trained and fully undertands issues surrounding safety procedures, clothing, sanitation, and the chain of infection.
One of their requirements is that Industry representatives, who are often present in the operating room, are asked to complete a highly detailed online course every two years.
AORN wanted the ability to easily keep the course content updated and relevant, and to allow adaptive learning, where learners could test themselves and hone in on the areas where they needed tuition, while moving quickly past subject matter where they could already demonstrate a thorough understanding.
The result was a course that can take as little as twenty minutes for a qualified learner, and as long as three hours for a first timer.
Changes to the course, such as additional Resources, or modifications to the course content are easily achieved by the subject matter experts, without the need to re-engage web or programming experts.
The finished course can run on any web connected computer, and works well on all bandwidths.
