A Brief Overview
The Surgical Nurse Liaison manages communication to the Surgery patient's family/SO during the time of their care in Pre Op, the Surgical suite, and PACU.

Information, general in nature, is given to designated family/SO members regarding the status of the patient. The information given is gathered by making rounds into the respective areas of care delivery. In the event of an adverse patient outcome, the RN can utilize additional ancillary departments such as Social Services and the Chaplaincy. The delivery of professional nursing care at Stormont Vail Health is guided by Jean Watson's Theory of Human Caring and the theory of Shared governance, both of which are congruent with the mission, vision, and values of the organization.

Specific information is not given by the Nurse Liaison- the Surgeon will discuss this with them in the designated conference room. If the patient is in PACU for over 1 hour, the Liaison will receive an update on the patient’s progress from the RN.

Once the patient arrives in PACU, the “in time” is noted and where the patient will be transferred to post operatively. Specific information is not given by the Nurse Liaison- the Surgeon will discuss this with them in the designated conference room. If the patient is in PACU for over 1 hour, the Liaison will receive an update on the patient’s progress from the RN.

Informs the patient and family of delays in start time in collaboration with the Pre Op and Circulating RNs.
