Paperless Surgery Scheduling
Without accurate scheduling, a delayed or mismanaged surgery can result in the net loss of tens of thousands of dollars. Logistically, scheduling can be a daunting task. Rooms and specialized equipment have to be procured, allergy-related precautions have to be taken, and staffing requirements have to be considered. If a scheduled surgery doesn’t take place for some reason, equipment that is pulled out of storage has to be stripped down, re-sterilized, and re-packaged. Last-minute cancellations may result in additional costs for unnecessary staffing.
With DocFinity, you can automate many of the processes associated with surgery scheduling. DocFinity Workflow and XML FormFLOW™ work together to streamline surgery scheduling into a unified electronic form. The net result is
- Elimination of lost, misplaced, or duplicate scheduling forms
- Elimination of paper and faxes
- Increased patient and department satisfaction
- Decreased potential for lost revenue
- Improved accountability with auditing
- Virtual elimination of follow-up phone calls
- Better communication between departments
Consolidating your surgery scheduling to an electronic form ensures accuracy and dramatically simplifies the scheduling process. The form can be integrated with an OR equipment list, CPT codes, anesthesia types, locations, and other factors. Organizations can populate the form with pull-down lists that integrate with SQL databases that reside in the background. Verification discrepancies can be checked with the ability to match Description, Procedure, CPT code, and ICP9 codes. Paperless surgery scheduling helps you optimize patient care, eliminate errors, and increase staff satisfaction.
