OR nurses - can you please advise?


Hi to all OR nurses!!!

I am a student nurse, and would be grateful if someone could simply point me in the right direction. I am doing a research paper on post op infection rates. Part of my assignment requires finding out the ANA position on SSI...I went to their website, and unfortunately did not find any information regarding their position. Do they have a position? did i miss it? any info you could provide would be appreciated......thank you!

I didn't see anything on the ANA website either...perhaps you could use the Institute for Healthcare Improvement...here's the link:
