2 Full Solution Logo Perioperative Documentation Solution AORN Syntegrity is an evidence-based perioperative documentation solution built by perioperative clinicians to help standardize the way procedures are scheduled, perioperative data is managed, and patients are treated. Designed to make today s complex perioperative environment more efficient, cost-effective, and simply more manageable. Protect your staff from legal liabilities and prove their value with proper standardized documentation. Improve your facility s bottom-line and OR efficiencies with our industry-leading standardized procedure list. In today s complex health care environment, you re constantly asked to improve your documentation and scheduling processes to help improve quality, decrease legal liabilities, lower costs, and better prepare for government regulations. AORN Syntegrity combines a standardized procedure list with the PNDS (Perioperative Nursing Data Set) and standardized nursing documentation to provide an efficient, costeffective process that works within your current EHR system to enhance patient safety, increase OR efficiencies, track nurse contributions, and manage regulatory standards. The only evidence-based standardized perioperative documentation built by perioperative clinicians and backed by AORN s Guidelines for Perioperative Practice and the latest version of the Perioperative Nursing Dataset (PNDS).

3 THE ONLY EVIDENCE-BASED STANDARDIZED PERIOPERATIVE DOCUMENTATION

4 The AORN Syntegrity Solution includes: 1. The Standardized Procedure List The AORN Syntegrity Procedure List is a library of surgical procedures that covers more than 2,200 procedures, all of which are referenced to CPT -4, ICD-10-PCS and SNOMED-CT codes. The use of the procedure list helps ensure more accurate searches for scheduling procedures, standardized communication, and preauthorization assistance that can save your organization time and improve your reimbursement process. 2. The Perioperative Nursing Data Set (PNDS) and Standardized Nursing Documentation The PNDS is the only nursing language that provides standardized terminology to support perioperative nursing practice. It includes positive outcome statements that reflect patient responses to perioperative nursing care. The PNDS represents the evidence-based practice that perioperative nurses provide and highlights the nurses contribution to patient outcomes. The Standardized Nursing Documentation provides the perioperative nurse the ability to document detailed nursing care that was provided. It helps standardize health record fields to enhance sharing and comparing of data and ensures that care is documented throughout all phases of care (preadmission testing/ preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative). The health record fields are mapped to the Perioperative Nursing Data Set (PNDS) to link documentation to evidence-based practice.

5 After implementing AORN Syntegrity, we now have the ability to thoroughly analyze cases and find solutions to ensure better outcomes in the future. UHS of Delaware

6 AORN Syntegrity will help you: Improve workflow streamline procedure searches to ensure the correct procedure is scheduled, increase preference card accuracy, and improve your overall reimbursement process.
