Waiting isn’t just an inconvenience. It means a barrier to optimal patient care and significant lost revenue. Key things that have a negative impact on perioperative Patient Flow and can be impacted by a progressive Surgery Scheduling System include:

• Inefficient scheduling that results in resource conflicts 
• A lack of understanding of case durations for different case mixes which results in schedules that subject to last minute changes and overtime 
• Inadequate asset tracking, both on-site and remotely, resulting in a mad scramble to locate nurses and other key ingredients to OR patient flow 
• Lack of flexibility to schedule and request changes from your office or any other remote location. 

AHA has done the due diligence, and has a solution.

SIS Patient Scheduling offers automated intelligence to improve the scheduling of surgical patients, procedures, supplies, personnel, and pre-admission testing (PAT). It helps hospitals to better manage variables such as surgeon block time availability, procedure time, special supplies needed, procedure codes, surgeon privileges and cases pending. With its graphical view, easy wizards and drag-and-drop capabilities, users can enter and read the information needed quickly and easily.
