Ease-of-use and functionality differ significantly among OR systems. You and your patients need the best.
Hospitals continue to choose SIS in this age when 'interoperability trumps all' because it offers important functionality not found in other systems and because it is much more user friendly. For example:
Many systems have analytics tools, butonly SIS has Perioperative-Specific Analytics.
To get the same information from other analytics tools as you get out-of-the-box with SIS, would take months of programming and/or consulting services.
Many systems have templates, butonly SIS has Documentation Wizards. These wizards reduce documentation time and errors by:
Defaulting information from other applications – no more double data entry.
Automatically checking that all mandatory fields are populated.
Ensuring that there are no discrepancies or common data entry mistakes.
Allowing users to customize screens and limiting the fields to just the ones that are appropriate for a given case.
Providing intelligent quick-pick lists to reduce typing and ensure information is in the right format for proper communication and reporting.
Many systems have functionality for various areas of the OR department, butonly SIS has functionality for every area, including anesthesia, on a single database.This means:
No double entering of OR data.
Immediate communication of all changes to your patients' records, no matter where the change was made or who made it.
You only get one shot at selecting an OR system. Make sure you get the best. Get SIS.
