Impact on Your Facility:

announcement

AORN team members are available to guide you through this transition, to ensure you are supported and that you understand your options.

Contracts:

  • As of July 1, 2024, new Periop 101 course agreements will no longer be available for purchase through HealthStream.
  • All HealthStream Periop 101 contracts expiring after June 30, 2024 will only be available for renewal through AORN.

Additional Seats: If you currently use Periop 101 via the HealthStream Learning Management System (LMS) and will need additional seats before your current agreement expires, you will need to contact AORN directly to purchase additional seats.

New Enrollments and Renewals:

  • Once your Periop 101 course agreement expires with HealthStream, new learners will need to enroll in Periop 101 directly through AORN.  While this requires a new agreement to be initiated through AORN, your renewal may be completed ahead of your current program expiration – without disrupting your next cohort’s training.
  • If you have an existing contract that will be expiring in the coming months, contact AORN and we will guide you through your options.

Current Learners:

  • Individuals already enrolled in Periop 101 on the HealthStream LMS can complete the course on their current learning platform per the terms of your existing agreement.
  • Facilities currently using Periop 101 on the HealthStream LMS will need to renew their Periop 101 agreement through AORN before their current agreement expiration date to avoid program interruption. These facilities have the option of continuing the program on the HealthStream LMS, or they can switch their program access to the AORN LMS.
  • Current HealthStream customers who are renewing their Periop 101 agreement through AORN are encouraged to explore the benefits of transitioning to the AORN LMS.

Orders are fulfilled within 2 business days of receiving payment.

» How will my learners access the Periop 101 course from the AORN LMS?

Once your AORN Facility Agreement is active, you will receive an email with instructions on how to register as an Administrator. Instructions for registering learners into your purchased seats is presented in the Administrator Implementation Course. Assigning, adding, and managing seats across multiple sites are all accessible through your Facility Agreement Page.

Assigning learner seats is as easy as entering an email address and clicking on a button. Once seats are assigned, your learners will receive an email with registration instructions and how to access the course through AORN’s LMS.

» How long will my learners have access to the course?

Learners will have 2-year access to course content. Most nurses complete the course in 3-6 months. After completion, course content will remain accessible to serve as a clinical reference and help guide your nurses through their early career.

» How long will I have to assign my learners into my purchased course seats?

Periop 101 administrators will have 3 years to assign learners into purchased seats. View Agreement Conditions.

» How will AORN provide learner completion records?

You may access learner completion records in three ways:

  1. Periop 101 Administrators can run a report through the Dashboard within AORN’s Learning Management System.
  2. Students are able to print the certificate and submit it to your appropriate internal contact.
  3. AORN’s Information Technology (IT) team can provide your facility’s IT team with a REST API, which your team can implement internally to pull completion status from the AORN LMS in real time and pull that data into your facility’s platform. REST APIs are widely used for data exchange between different systems using the HTTP technologies found in web browsers and servers.
» What are the technical/IT requirements for accessing the AORN Learning Management System?

Below are system requirements that you will need to access AORN online courses. If you are accessing the program through your work computer, please contact your IT department to confirm your system meets the following requirements.

For the best experience using our platform, we recommend:

  • A broadband network connection with a minimum download speed of 10 mbps
  • The most recent version of your computer’s operating system

For the best streaming experience, close all other tabs, browsers, windows, or programs. Use an ethernet cord instead of WiFi whenever possible.

OPERATING SYSTEMS AND DEVICES

We always recommend the most recent version of your computer’s operating system. However, here is some guidance:

  • Windows 10 or later
  • MacOS 10.15 or later

BROWSERS

The most recent version of Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Microsoft Edge
Internet Explorer: Microsoft will only continue supporting IE 11 moving forward. Please do not use IE 10 or below, or the courses will not work properly. Microsoft suggests upgrading to Edge rather than using Internet Explorer.
