Abstract
The team met for one 6-hour day and one 3-hour day. The team developed a workplan andmet each month until the room opened. A core group of nurses from the PACU volunteered and were chosen to learn how to provide the care needed for pre-, intraand post-care. The PACU staff went to the CPC to learn how to pull sheaths and to learn about the supplies, process and monitoring. The core group of nurses also attended additional training to learn the new computerized documentation system. Standard operational procedures were developed. When the room construction was completed, the PACU and OR staff did rehearsals of the process. They walked through each step to ensure that when the first patient was scheduled for a procedure, the process would be smooth and safe. Evaluation and Outcomes: The first day and first patient’s procedure went safely and effectively. The OR and PACU staff truly worked as a team to provide excellent care. The vascular physicians were pleased with how smooth and on time the process was and continues to be.
