Ready-to-Use, Evidence-Based In-Service Library
In-service staff education and training to reinforce knowledge, address quality issues, and meet regulatory requirements is a significant investment for outpatient facilities and ambulatory surgery centers, taking valuable hours of preparation and research every year by educators and administrators.
In-Service of the Month is a robust source of content, continually updated to reflect the Guidelines for Perioperative Practice - saving you time and money.
