Surgical Preference Cards
Patient safety is the number one priority of health care providers, yet
avoidable mistakes continue to occur. Keeping surgical teams on the
same page before surgery can help avoid mistakes during surgery. This
is dependent on a better surgical blueprint, a better surgical
preference card
Supply rooms are organized by bin
number, but paper pick lists are often
alphabetical. With the OR Link tablet
interface, the digital pick list can be
viewed by bin location. This increases
accuracy and saves time, keeping
surgical teams away from the supply
room and in the OR.
Staff attrition is a multi-facted problem, costing more than dollars.
Based on ORLINK SAAS model, hospitals could achieve 8x savings
on this category alone.
With an avg salary of $75k/yr —
25% turnover — 200% re-training
cost, OR Directors surveyed
indicate ORLINK could reduce this
problem by to 50%.
Our software allows the entire surgical team
to be connected to the creation, editing and
updating process behind the digital
preference card. To change OR results, we
must change our methods. This starts with
team collaboration.
OR Link allows multiple team members to
make edits to the digital preference card.
Increased teamwork means less errors and
improved accuracy
Most surgical care includes adhoc teams as a result of breaks, handoffs and
cross-coverage. The problem intensifies after hours, weekends and holidays, often
requiring a call to a fellow staffer at work or home. OR Link centralizes “tribal knowledge”
for OR setups, devices and procedures making it effortlessly accessible 24/7/365.
