Why Surgery Software Should Be Your Next Investment
The OR typically represents 70% of a hospital’s revenues and 40% of the budget.Even more importantly, the OR impacts patient outcomes more significantly than any other area of the hospital.
The ROI that most hospitals see from the implementation of a new OR and anesthesiology system is significant and immediate.Frost and Sullivan’s 2006 “Acute Care Markets” report says these systems typically generate between $1.1 million and $3.2 million in net earnings annually, and ROI is usually achieved in less than 18 months.
Increasingly, surgeons, anesthesiologists, and perioperative nurses are choosing to work in hospitals that have strong OR and anesthesia automation. In addition to reducing time spent on documentation and administrative tasks, the functionality in these systems (such as patient flow tools and smart scheduling programs) improve throughput in the OR. This means more cases and thus more money and less frustration for surgeons and anesthesiologists.
By investing in SIS today you will be able to use the fast ROI to fund your other, longer and more complex initiatives.
