Surgical Set Optimization

Surgical Preference Card Cleanup for OR Optimization

Surgical Set Optimization is designed to increase efficiency, save time and effectively manage your resources for the operating room (OR) and sterile processing department (SPD).

Are there instruments in your surgical sets that surgeons don’t use? 

Inefficient surgical sets have big implications for OR efficiency, SPD turnaround and your overall bottom line. If your surgical sets include unused tools, you're wasting both the lifespan of these instruments and the time of SPD technicians who must repeatedly reprocess them.

As many as 38,719 instruments per year are unnecessarily reprocessed due to this kind of poor inventory management, so fixing the disconnect between surgical needs and preference card content is critically important.¹

A data-driven approach to surgical set streamlining

Our team will ensure your trays contain only the tools your surgical team needs, eliminating unnecessary instruments. We combine advanced instrument tracking and electronic medical record (EMR) analytics to:

• Modernize and optimize your surgical sets based on the instruments your OR team utilizes.
• Determine the most efficient tray layouts and remove duplicates that are wasting SPD effort.
• Gain a deeper understanding of how optimized assets improve workflows in both the OR and SPD.
