Hello,
Does anyone have any guidance on instrument and soft/sharp supplies counts in an ambulatory setting for an in-office procedure or surgery?
We have had an incident surrounding a retained item from an in-office procedure.
I am looking to create a Standard of Work (SOW) or policy surrounding this, in addition to creating a count sheet for our practices to use. AORN does not have guidance for a non-surgical, ambulatory practice setting regarding counts.
I appreciate any guidance or assistance anyone can provide.
Thanks,
