The surgery and
perioperative areas are composed of multiple units that operate
independently but require a coordinated effort to move patients
through their procedures. To facilitate the activities of these
multiple units, there must be extensive communication;
communication handled by an extremely powerful tool. The most
powerful tool available today for communication within your surgery
and perioperative departments is Amelior ORTracker. Amelior
ORTracker provides you with more information than any other
surgical services tracking system on the market today. Information
presented includes:
* Daily schedules and the ability to modify those
schedules.
Lists of patients broken down by the area they are in (pre-op,
surgery, PACU, post-op) and their status (prepped, ready for
post-op, etc.).
Lists of patients yet to register.
Room and surgery suite assignments.
The current physical location of patients.
The location and status of equipment.
The status of rooms (available, dirty, in use,
etc.).
* Caregivers responsible for the patient.
Using Amelior ORTracker:
* Charge nurses can assign beds to patients.
Surgeons, anesthesiologists, and surgical nurses can view their own
schedule for the day.
Pre-op can notify surgery of when a patient is ready to
go.
Surgery can notify PACU of when a patient is complete with surgery,
and PACU can then assign a bed.
Pre-op can see which patients have been registered and which have
yet to arrive at the hospital.
* The entire department can be notified of roadblocks to a
patient's progress (e.g., the patient hasn't arrived yet or no
H&P has been performed).
