Ian Binks, Business Development Manager – Global Clinical Solutions at Ascom & Hayley Valentine, Clinical Consultant at Ascom, will be discussing how we can support the management of bottlenecks in surgical pathways with joined-up perioperative management.
Surgical pathways, especially electives, have the potential to be highly efficient due to the pre-planned nature of all activity with foreknowledge of what needs to be done, by whom and when. At the same time, due to the linear nature of activity, any bottleneck in the pathway will significantly affect the efficiency of the whole process. Applying digital management tools across the perioperative process can mitigate blockages and provide the tools to respond to challenges anywhere in the pathway. We will discuss some applications, with the follow deployment areas.
Pre-operative care
Intra-operative care
Post-operative care
We will explore how these technologies can be deployed in an integrated fashion to reduce silos of information and streamline care delivery.
