Surgical Efficiency

OpFlow optimizes surgical supply chains by integrating your usage data with our benchmarks:

  • Rationalize and consolidate hospital-owned trays

  • Manage metrics to lower cost of sterilization and storage of vendor-owned trays

  • Optimize utilization of high dollar supplies via OpFlow standardized procedure benchmarks

Rationalization - Consolidation - Inventory Reduction

OpFlow targets large, frequently used trays for optimization within designated service lines. OpFlow collects usage data on all trays used for commonly performed cases within the service line to create the most efficient, streamlined configurations.

Trays


Vendor Owned Trays

Utilization - Rationalization - Inventory Management

OpFlow tracks which vendor trays are pulled, opened, and used for a case, and collects actual usage data for both instrument and implant trays.

Procedure-based standards stratified by vendor are generated to reduce the number of trays brought to the case, therefore lowering sterilization costs. Visibility to vendor tray usage identifies areas for improvement and optimization that can lower overall case cost.

Usage analysis - Benchmark analytics

Variability of preference cards for the same procedure makes surgical supply optimization difficult to manage. OpFlow’s benchmarks identify high-cost supplies and provide an average quantity used for commonly performed procedures across hospital locations. Benchmark data, along with actual usage by surgeon and case, enables hospitals to optimize the quantities on each preference card and accurately allocate items.
