Description

Sole Source Written Determination #SS-0223 Description of the agency need that this procurement fulfills: (See instructions on last page for guidance) Students must know the surgery steps, instrumentation, and hospital policy on Time Out, Counting, Positioning, Vital Signs, Prepping, Urinary Catherization, ets. One of the main responsibilities for a Surgical Technologist is intraoperative case management. This is wear the student applies their knowledge of anatomy, instrumentation, medication, supplies, and most important sterile technique to assist the surgeon with improving the patient’s life. One of the ways this is accomplished is by setting up procedures according to order of use (based on procedural steps and surgeon preference). One area of surgical skills need is surgical anticipation. This has typically been difficult to teach in a lab setting and is a program requirement to show that the student is anticipating need. It is a graded line item on all clinical evaluations. The ARCTSTSA has added this to lab instruction in the 7th core curriculum under the Mock Surgery component. The Periop simulator will provide the student with the measured grade for anticipation and mock surgery that is not required in the lab and clinical component of training. Describe the Market Based on Research Performed: (See instructions on last page for guidance) In meeting with peer groups, other colleges and at surgical technology conferences, there is no other simulation available that meets the surgical technology needs.
