A mobile-first perioperative education and competency-management platform that turns orientation into measurable, validated readiness — for every nurse and surgical technologist in the OR.
Competency isn't a checkbox at the end of a module — it's validated at the bedside. TPEI captures that distinction in every workflow.
Foundational and specialty modules with quizzes developed in alignment with published AORN Guidelines for Perioperative Practice — and with NBSTSA content standards for the surgical technologist track.
Skills requiring hands-on sign-off stay open until a preceptor or educator confirms readiness — no shortcuts.
Educators and leadership track orientation progress, validation status, and readiness across every preceptee in real time.
Five tailored packages — experienced and orienting RNs and CSTs, plus preceptors — each with the right tools.
Designed for the phone in a preceptee's pocket and scaling cleanly to iPad for charting at the desk or reviewing at the board.
Institutions layer their own overlays and modules on top of master content — without altering the canonical source.
Every validation is timestamped and traceable, giving leadership a defensible record of clinical readiness.
Experienced RNs and CSTs get full access to foundational and specialty modules as on-demand reference — without progress tracking or sign-off requirements. They can still log cases and write case notes, and share them with the team.
Educators assign each team member their role and specialty pathway at sign-in.
Preceptees work through modules and quizzes while building skills on real cases.
Preceptors sign off on demonstrated competency, advancing readiness with a verifiable record.
Competency isn't only what you know. TPEI tracks the full picture and gives every learner space to reflect on their own practice as they go.
Progress is measured across all three domains — what a learner knows, can do, and how they practice — not completion alone.
Staff capture working notes and personal reflections on their growth — reflections stay private to the learner.

Every learner builds on a shared foundational core, then branches into the surgical specialties their service line demands — and can carry more than one at once. The full range of specialty tracks below is available at deployment; the two examples shown in detail illustrate how each track works.
The shared baseline every RN and CST completes before entering a specialty.
Example specialty track (one of many below) — showing how a preceptee progresses through a specialty.
Example specialty track (one of many below) — advanced cardiac content for structural heart procedures.
Each specialty track covers the relevant surgical approaches — open, laparoscopic, robotic, minimally invasive, and endovascular — as applicable to that service line.
Multi-specialty enrollment lets a single learner progress through more than one track at once, each with its own validated skills and sign-offs. Content is developed in alignment with publicly available AORN Guidelines for Perioperative Practice and NBSTSA content standards.
Educators and leadership get a live view of every preceptee's progress, validated competencies, and pending sign-offs — plus a real-time picture of who's competent to scrub or circulate in each specialty, so you always know where you're covered and where to focus.

Perioperative leaders carry real accountability for staff competency. TPEI turns that ongoing burden into a structured, defensible record — so the work you already do is documented the way regulators and accreditors expect.
TPEI supports your compliance documentation; it does not provide accreditation or CEUs, and is not a substitute for your institution's own regulatory obligations.
TPEI's tiered, hospital-configurable architecture means new capabilities can be turned on per site — without disturbing the master curriculum. A few of the directions on our roadmap:
Surface a site's own perioperative policies and protocols right alongside the relevant module, kept current by each institution.
Per-hospital demonstration videos reachable by QR code — scan at the point of need to watch the technique tied to a specific skill.
Potential linking to manufacturer instructions-for-use for equipment referenced in a module. Under evaluation — not yet confirmed for release.
Roadmap items are illustrative of platform direction and configurability; availability, scope, and timing may change. "Exploring" items are under evaluation and not committed.
TPEI is offered through flexible institutional agreements based on your site count, team size, and the specialty tracks you need — not a one-size-fits-all subscription. Tell us about your program and we'll put together a plan that fits.
TPEI is in active development, and we're partnering with early sites. Tell us about your perioperative program and we'll share a preview and explore whether you'd be a fit for early access or a pilot. We'll be in touch within two business days.
