CaseReady Cards
Say goodbye to your old preference cards system!
Let’s face it, the current preference card system has not kept up with the times. Preference cards are often inaccurate, difficult to update, not comprehensive, and difficult to use. Thus, the accuracy of pre-operative setup largely depends upon the person who happen to be in the OR for any given case. This leads to a cascade of negative outcomes: surgical waste, missing items during a case, inefficient case prep and turnover times, increased stress levels, and compromised patient safety. It doesn’t have to be this way.
Our mission at CaseReady is to ensure total consistency and efficiency in pre-operative OR setup, regardless of personnel. Everything a surgeon needs for any given case (and nothing more) should be in the room, set up correctly, and turned on with the correct settings before an incision is made. This IS possible on every case with CaseReady cards. CaseReady removes the guesswork from pre-operative setup.
App and web-based platform features
Through our app and web-based platform, we give your facility the ability to easily build, edit, and maintain accurate, comprehensive, interactive, and easy-to-use digital surgeon CaseReady cards displayed on dedicated CaseReady smart tablets placed in each of your ORs. These aren’t your run-of-the-mill, paper-based preference cards that have been used without much success for decades. These are CaseReady cards. The future of pre-operative OR setup.
CaseReady Cards Include:
- Surgeon preferences displayed as an interactive checklist, with a CaseReady! notification sent to the surgeon upon completion of case setup
- Mayo-stand and room setup pictures
- Live pre-operative surgeon direct messaging from CaseReady smart-tablet
- Real-time intra operative card edits with text notifications of edits immediately sent to surgeon
- One-touch time stamps to capture wheels in, incision, close, and wheels out times
- A record of all case data immediately displayed in administrative portal
- Indicates to user items to bring into the OR, but not to open “Hold Items”
OR Efficiency Metrics
With the OR being a facility’s biggest potential revenue generator, it’s imperative to improve efficiencies wherever possible. CaseReady technology allows for real-time efficiency data to be captured on the CaseReady smart tablet and then displayed on your administrative portal dashboard. You will have access to real-time facility metrics such as average case-prep times, turnover times, and procedure times along with access to a record of case data for every case performed at your facility.
Additionally, you will be given insight into how your facility compares on a relative basis to other facilities. With this type of data at your fingertips, you will be able to make better-informed decisions on how to maximize revenue and efficiencies in your OR.
Real-time Patient Status Updates
Updating a patient’s family, or friends on their loved one’s surgical status is an important part of what any OR must do. Often this requires phone calls into the OR, or for personnel to walk into the room to ask for status updates. The communication then travels back to the front desk, and ultimately to the patient’s family and friends. We improve this communication flow through the one-touch time stamps and direct messaging features located on every CaseReady smart tablet.
The smart tablets communicate instantaneously with your administrative web portal giving you the important information you need to inform families and friends about their loved ones at your fingertips.
Case Reports
Perioperative communication can often consist of fragmented and inefficient processes that can be substantially improved with the CaseReady platform. Our integrated OR smart tablet and admin portal provides real-time direct messaging capabilities between an operating room, surgeon, and the control desk (or anyone accessing the administrative portal on a handheld device or computer).
E-Charges
Capturing every dollar of revenue possible from every case just became easier with the CaseReady platform. Since the CaseReady smart tablet already knows what chargeable items are being pulled for each case via your CaseReady cards, it’s able to auto-generate and digitally display chargeable items used for any given case. These displayed chargeable items can easily be adjusted or added to as needed. Total case charges are then seamlessly sent digitally to your biller or to your current EMR system.
