Automating the perioperative supply chain documentation process can yield significant benefits, such as reduced supply costs, increased revenue, and re-allocation of non-clinical activity. However, automated documentation of the perioperative supply chain requires more than just developing technical interfaces. While interfaces are important, ultimately the effectiveness of your new supply chain model will be determined by the workflow changes that surround the interfaces.
Picis' experience shows that achievement of the expected operational benefits requires an implementation approach that balances operational change with the implementation of technology. This balanced approach is called the Perioperative Supply Chain Improvement Program. The program includes case cart system management, procedure-driven delivery, contract management, procedure standardization and utilization strategies that drive systems implementation.
