Streamlining the Flow of Surgery Patients

By HospiMedica staff writers
Posted on 19 Dec 2005
An integrated patient tracking and clinical communications tool streamlines the progress and management of surgery patients through the operating room (OR) environment.

StatCom OR, an innovative patient flow software solution developed by Surgical Information Systems (SIS, Alpharetta, GA USA), offers faster, more efficient progression of patients from one care event to the next. More...
It also improves management of internal resources and communication among clinicians, and enhances productivity through the elimination of unproductive processes and manual record keeping

The synchronization of all information and communication translates to increased efficiency and productivity, improved patient and family satisfaction, and higher value to both patients and the organization. From valet parking through rehabilitation, StatCom can keep hospital clinicians and patient families up to date on patient status. Family members are even able to view the status of care of the patient on monitors in the waiting room.

"The increased communication helps to ensure that patients' families are informed of their progress, and that translates into increased satisfaction,” said Rick Ferguson, chief operating officer of the Orthopedic Hospital of Oklahoma (Tulsa, OK, USA), where the system has been implemented to synchronize over 5,600 procedures annually.

"We are very pleased with the features, flexibility, and the power of SIS. We are able to match the clinical side of our business with the financial side through a seamless integration, and we are able to deliver care with fewer errors, increased patient satisfaction, and the knowledge that we're doing our jobs at the highest level,” added Dr. Ferguson.
