• Added efficiencies. Our platform lets us categorize supplies and specify their specific storage locations. That means preference cards note supplies by category — instruments, sutures and dressings, for example — and identify the storage bins where they can be found. That intuitive format is easy for staff to follow as they walk the aisles of the storage area to pick supplies. • Customizable notes. The electronic preference cards also include areas where staff can document and save notes about supply needs for specific procedures or requests from individual surgeons, includ- ing comprehensive details about room set-ups, patient positioning preferences, skin prepping instructions and preferred glove sizes. We can even flag equipment that's used on a limited basis, such as C-arms, and have the system provide real-time updates of how many scheduled proce- dures require the equipment. Having access to the infor- mation is invaluable. We can confirm the equipment will be available when it's needed and know ahead of time if we'll need to adjust the schedule to ensure each surgical team has the equipment they need.
