Case Study: Increasing Surgical Cases through On-Site Support

Background: Solutions to challenges that are hindering the efficiency of minimally invasive procedures: missing / broken cameras and endoscopes; incomplete instrument trays; insufficient instrumentation; and, the inability to trouble-shoot complex video equipment at Trinity Medical Center.

Trinity Medical Center is one of many facilities across the nation striving to overcome these challenges.

Challenges: Inadequate inventory of endoscopic instruments. Inefficient room turn-over do to instruments and equipment not being ready. Troubleshooting state-of-the-art cameras, printers and light sources.

Strategy: Highly trained IMS technicians partner with your staff to ensure instrument and equipment readiness for minimally invasive procedures. Assisting your team to oversee pre-case details such as:

• Placement of adequate minimally invasive instrument inventory
  
  
• Management of trays and instruments before and after the case
  
  
• Providing technical support for equipment like cameras, printers, and light sources during the case
  
  
• Assisting with room turnover will ensure the benefits below.

Results: Increased staff productivity due to efficient access to functioning equipment which means improved surgeon satisfaction and efficiency in procedures leading to improved operating room on-time starts. These all allow your team to be ready, so they can focus on the patient rather than the instruments and equipment.
