Competency & Credentialing Institute (CCI) and OR Manager Develop Educational Partnership
The Competency and Credentialing Institute (CCI) and OR Manager team up to provide multiple educational and exam preparatory options for perioperative nursing leaders in 2019.
ROCKVILLE, Md., Dec. 12, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Competency & Credentialing Institute (CCI) and OR Manager have formed a formal partnership to produce and host three courses to provide preparation for the Certified Surgical Services Manager (CSSM ®) credential, and a certificate of mastery course focused on the fundamentals of operating room management.

Attendees will be eligible for 6.0 contact hours of continuing nursing education upon successful completion of the workshop, including completion of a pre-reading assignment and a post-course evaluation.
Learning objectives include:
- Identify the elements of a multiple-choice, one-correct-answer exam question
- Identify the basic steps involved with developing various perioperative budgets
- Discuss methods of monitoring operational and financial performance in the perioperative setting
- Identify guiding principles in effective inventory management
