Increasing Perioperative Workflow Efficiency
 

Inefficiencies occur when communications are fragmented, unavailable or ill timed, and processes become disjointed and ineffective. Closing the gap between people, processes, and IT systems, LiveData solutions help reduce staff overtime, downtime and rescheduling; and help clinicians track assets— equipment trays, for example—faster and more effectively.

 

Automate Safety Procedures

LiveData OR-Dashboard includes Active Time Out, an interactive tool for promoting full compliance with safety protocols. Active Time Out guides and informs the OR team through checklist processes like the surgical safety pause, while documenting in real time.

 

Reduce Setup Time

OR-Dashboard displays key information about the patient and the operation—incuding sterile supply data for for tracking equipment and surgeon preferences—during set up. Clinicians don’t lose time correcting problems that could have been avoided.

 

Help with OR Scheduling

LiveData OR-Dashboard displays elapsed time and time remaining until the next operation, helping the OR team identify potential bottlenecks.

 

Facilitate Communication with Other Departments

LiveData establishes communication links across the hospital. The OR team can, for example, view pathology specimens and results as soon as they are available in the lab; LiveData OR-Dashboard will display the status of equipment trays during OR setup via communication with sterile supplies. Anyone with permission and a web browser can see the same LiveData OR-Dashboard display as that shown in the OR.

 

Automatically Generate Reports

LiveData case reports accompany patients as they proceed through the preoperative, intraoperative and post-operative phases of surgery. Hand offs run more smoothly, with less likelihood of error.

 

Facilitate Learning from Experience

With LiveData Historian, clinicians can replay operations in order to analyze the effectiveness of teamwork and develop strategies for improvement.
