title: An electronic educational resource for ready reference in the OR.
abstract: Nurses and surgical technologists working on weekends or after hours may not always be familiar with a specific setup for an emergent surgical procedure. At St. Vincent Healthcare, Billings, Mont., an electronic tool was developed to address this concern. The Powerpoint-based Electronic Education Resource (PEER) system provides staff members with a quick, educational overview of surgical setup, patient positioning, and procedural steps.
