AORN CENTRAL OKLAHOMA CHAPTER
BUSINESS MEETING MINUTES
SEPTEMBER 19, 2000
The meeting was opened by President Loretta Cates with an
introduction of Janet Lewis. Janet is the Director of Surgical Services at
Baptist Hospital and gave a presentation on “OR Teamwork of the Future.”
She began by asking us to remember what the OR had been like 30 years ago. It
was quite interesting to hear those who reminisced about those times.
Janet next asked us to think about what it might be like in
the OR 30 years from now. She feels that there will be some very dramatic
changes, and that we will be a part of these future changes.
Janet’s presentation was excellent and
gave us all some very good food for thought!
At the conclusion of Janet’s talk, Loretta held a very brief
business meeting. All of the officers and board members
were introduced. Loretta asked us to be sure to turn the surveys that had been
handed out to us.
There was a motion to have a brief
business meeting at each month’s meeting. Motion was carried
and the meeting was adjourned at 8:15.
Submitted Respectfully,
Cookie Jennings
