MEDITECH's
Operating Room Management application is designed to provide
functionality for all aspects of running a hospital operating
room including:

• Complete statistical and reporting
capabilities.
In addition, the system automatically calculates billing charges
based upon a set of rules established by the individual
organization.
Highlights:
The
application provides routines for:
• Integrated desktop and patient tracking
system
• Operating room scheduling
• Scheduling equipment and resources
• Printing daily operating lists
• Documenting pre-op instructions and
assessments
• Tracking patient risks
• Entering real-time peri-operative
documentation
• Managing inventory
• Generating surgeon preference cards with
costing information
• Tracking implants.
Standard Features
Scheduling
The application accommodates all aspects of scheduling by:
• Scheduling the visit, physician, room, and equipment from
a single entry point
• Checking for scheduling conflicts with:
– patient's schedule
– physician's schedule
– equipment availability
– room availability.
• Calculating the average time it takes each physician to
perform a specific procedure
• Maintaining physician privileges/specialties on-line
• Maintaining patient's confidential status during
scheduling, based upon Registration parameters.
Preference
Cards
Preference cards provide support to surgeons with features such
as:
• Real-time updating and changing cost analysis
• Continuous analysis of surgical suite inventory and cost
management
• Reports for analyzing usage and turnover
• Implant tracking routines:
– document implant in the patient's
profile
– track device expiration date
– records device serial number
– continuous analysis of surgical suite
inventory and cost management
– simplified "Just-In-Time"
inventory through picks generation list.
Surgical
Profile
Surgical Profile features include:
• Ability to view nursing assessments from pre-testing to
recovery
• Routines for identifying and maintaining patient risks for
future care
• Reports for capturing outcome data used in risk management
and quality assurance
• Ability to document deferred cases.
Documentation
The application allows users to document the entire peri-operative
episode. The system automatically captures who entered the
information and the time of documentation. The information that
is entered becomes part of the patient's surgical profile, as
well as part of the statistical database of operating room events.
Reporting
Some standard reports included in the application include:
• Operating lists
• Daily log
• Acuity lists
• Delayed cases
• Unplanned cases
• Procedure counts
• Complications reports
• Anesthesia reports
• Block utilization
• Surgical profile audit trail.
An additional Compiled Report feature allows users to create their own reports.
Billing
The application also provides facilities with the ability to
automatically generate billing information for operating room use.
Users define the costs related to surgical cases including:
• Procedure
• Equipment use
• Operating room time
• Clinician rates
• Anesthesia or other drugs administered during surgery.
Other billing features include the ability to have preference card data automatically sent to the billing system and flat-rate charging capabilities.
Inventory
Control
In order to assist operating room personnel in managing their
inventories, the application:
• Generates pick lists based upon what was specified at the
time the appointment was booked, and what is specified on the
preference cards
• Prints pick lists by room(s), date(s), surgeon(s),
specialty, or patient(s) and sorts by inventory, inventory
location, or materials management location
• Provides flexibility within the pick list routines so that
hospitals print pick lists using the criteria that best matches
the inventory set-up
• Supports "Just-In-Time" inventory
• Prints pick lists in Central Supply or Materials
Management, allowing for greater communication among departments
• Offers the ability to combine preference cards for
patients having multiple surgeries, thereby avoiding the issuance
of duplicate items and costs.
