Surgical Instrument Optimization to Reduce Instrument Processing and Operating Room Setup Time

Great study published this month by a hospital in Ontario on the cost savings and efficiency gains that can be achieved by optimizing surgical instrument trays. To read the full abstract, click here.

These authors recognized the opportunity and demonstrated excellent results after conducting their own data collection process. They noted that the benefits (including reducing instrument reprocessing and setup times, minimizing performance variability, and improving efficiency) could be further amplified if the process was applied across all surgical departments.

This is where OpFlow can help- one of the key advantages offered by our platform is the ability to leverage technology to rapidly collect data for a high volume of surgical cases to enable that type of transformation.
