Continuous Improvement

Continuous Improvement in room setup and instrumentation usage

Proper setup of the room based on previous surgery feedback allows the Surgeons to refine the procedure at every step. Feedback specific to the flow identifies process improvements and activities that are inefficient. Feeedback specific to equipment, disposables and instrumentation ensures that the amount of materials are in the room and only opened when needed.

It is common for procedures to be bundled together within one case. Currently Hospitals will pull items for all the Cards required in the surgery. This has duplication of materials and an doesn’t aid the team in the flow expected for this Surgery. OpFlow allows Surgeons to create Bundled Cards which bring in the flow and materials from multiple procedures and indentifies overlaps. When the bundled card is use the amount of waste for this procedure is drastically reduced.
