For block utilization and more, what’s the best surgical workflow software?

 

LiveData vs. LeanTaaS

LiveData PeriOp Manager and LeanTaaS share many features. Our biggest differences come down to ease of use, implementation, and whole hospital coordination. LiveData PeriOp Manager works across more of the patient's journey, has more safety and communication components, and was rated #1 in a survey of real hospital leaders.

LiveData supports whole hospital teams, not just their data scientists. You don’t need a statistics degree to use LiveData’s optimization tools — they’re designed with frontline usability in mind. Our apps and display boards deliver real-time, intuitive views that help clinicians and administrators stay in sync, on time, and on track. You’ll get reinforced safety measures and data collection too.

The same can’t always be said for venture-backed platforms like LeanTaaS. We find their math-heavy suggestions are often a few steps away from on-the-ground reality, requiring significant reinterpretation before they translate into real-world EHR use or OR decisions. Ask us how LiveData’s solutions deliver the greatest improvements to hospital workflows.
