Article Outline
Dear OR Professional:
We are proud to publish the new 2008 OR Product Directory (ORPD), a supplement to the AORN Journal.
The 2008 ORPD is a comprehensive product guide designed specifically for today's busy perioperative community.
The first section of the ORPD contains an alphabetical listing of companies. The latter section is organized by product category with references to companies under each product heading. Company and product information for the 2008 OR Product Directory is also online and fully searchable at www.orpd.org.
The new 2008 ORPD contains numerous articles relevant to your daily practice, including coverage of the revenue cycle—what it is, how it works, and how to enhance it; care of surgical instruments; prevention of health care–associated infections; and 14 topics from “Clinical Issues,” the most popular column featured in the AORN Journal. Visit www.aornjournal.org for convenient online access to these and other timely articles.
We hope you'll find the 2008 OR Product Directory valuable and make it an integral part of your practice and purchasing initiatives throughout the coming year.
Improved patient outcomes through new technologies and equipment—
