Standards for Safe and Quality Care in the Perioperative Environment (SSQCPE)
SSQCPE Evidence Summaries
ACORN commissioned the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) to prepare evidence summaries of the best available evidence for each standard in the 2023 SSQCPE. JBI provided ACORN with a series of topic-specific detailed evidence summaries. Each summary included recommendations for practice. The summaries are available below:
