Which airline brought you to Nashville or did you take on your last trip? I'll bet you have some real stories and experiences that drove your choice. The same is true for your ORs, especially for the surgeons, patients, staff, and management that play a part in creating a "good" day in the OR. Today's session will provide a working knowledge of OR metrics, what they mean (and don't mean), and how to use them in a meaningful way.

Learning Objectives:

• Describe how nursing documentation drives OR metrics.
• Discuss why OR metrics matter.
• Describe what to do with OR metrics, and what not to do with them.
• Explain how work with IT to get useful reports.
