AHA Endorsement:
Surgical Information Systems, Surgery, Management& Anesthesia
"SIS provides functionality such as SIS Anesthesia, that other vendors simply do not offer, saving a great deal of work and allowing anesthesiologists to focus more on patients’ status." – Kenneth Deans, CIO, Bassett HealthcareIn today’s health care landscape, hospitals are increasingly looking to implement information technology in several different capacities, be it for purposes of CPOE, e-prescribing, or other worthwhile initiatives. The use of information technology throughout the hospital has been widely promoted to improve patient care and patient outcomes. Historically though, one area of the hospital that still has relied on paper-based processes is the operating room. Not only does the operating room (OR) impact positive patient outcomes more than any other area, but it accounts for 60% of hospital revenues and 40% of most budgets. Technologies are now being implemented to increase OR efficiencies.
Why We Endorsed Surgical Information Systems, Surgery & Management from SIS
The OR impacts positive patient outcomes more significantly than any other area of the hospital. Inefficiencies in the OR represent barriers to optimal patient care and significant lost revenue. SIS offers automated intelligence to improve the scheduling of surgical cases, proactively moving patients through the perioperative process and optimizing the entire department with analytical decision support. As the only health care IT provider focused exclusively on surgery, SIS offers the most comprehensive perioperative management solution available. As its proven ROI model demonstrates, the SIS solution integrates all crucial functions and correlates cost data resulting in improved profitability.
Developed specifically for complex surgical environments, SIS technology integrates all perioperative administrative and clinical processes, including anesthesia. It helps hospitals better manage surgeon block time availability, procedure time, special supplies needed, procedure codes, surgeon privileges, cases pending and other variables.
