Surgical Smoke Legislation - A Case Study to Enact
Meaningful Change
In 2023, Oregon joined three other states in passing legislation
requiring smoke evacuation in all surgeries likely to generate
surgical smoke. The legislative process began in 2011 and took
nurses and other OR stakeholders over a decade to change the
culture in the OR and change the law.
This case study will start with the background of the concern,
institutional history and failed change management. It will also
outline the process by which OR clinicians and leaders engaged
with lawmakers and professional bodies to draft and support
legislation to require smoke evacuation in the OR. This includes
having constituent meetings with lawmakers and providing
testimony to state congressional committees as well as coming to
compromise with those groups opposing the bill language.
Learning objectives:
* Understand the importance of nursing engagement in advocacy
to progress the profession.
* Learn how to connect with professional bodies to understand
what current nursing practice issues are being discussed in
legislation.
* Understand why legislators need to hear directly from nurses
and nurse leaders.
Take-home tool: Educational tool for making connections to
professional organizations to understand current issues impacting
nursing and perioperative services
