Don’t Fall Behind… Streamline First Case On-Time Starts in the OR
A recent study noted that 40 – 50 million surgeries take place in the US yearly. The list of patients needing surgery in the OR is getting longer, which is why First Case On-Time Starts for the first surgery of the day are so critical. The more delayed the first surgery, the greater the backlog throughout the day. This causes frustration among staff and patients, drives unnecessary costs, and can impact patient care. Integrated communication and collaboration in this environment are critical to getting things started off right.
