How PeriOp Planner Works
PeriOp Planner grants clinic schedulers curated access to your hospital’s surgical calendar, which is typically inaccessible to independent or affiliated clinics. This lets schedulers see time slots they wouldn't have known were available - including when block time is released.
Planner also digitizes case details like preop workup coordination. It's easy to see if these have been completed, preventing bottlenecks in your workflow and further accelerating the booking process for clinics and hospitals alike.
From the surgeon's office, clinic schedulers can confidently find and request open time in real time, fast-forwarding lengthy negotiations with hospital schedulers that often occur via phone, fax, and email. Hospital schedulers retain the final authority to approve case requests.
Planner has a very low IT lift, and typically sees full usage less than 90 days after project launch. LiveData's clinically-experienced team is always on call to help with initial rollout and ongoing support. On average, our clients enjoy net ROI from Planner in just 5 months.
