The surgery and perioperative areas are composed of multiple units that operate independently but require a coordinated effort to move patients through their procedures. To facilitate the activities of these multiple units, there must be extensive communication; communication handled by an extremely powerful tool. The most powerful tool available today for communication within your surgery and perioperative departments is Amelior ORTracker®. Amelior ORTracker provides you with more information than any other surgical services tracking system on the market today. Information presented includes:

• Daily schedules and the ability to modify those schedules.
  Lists of patients broken down by the area they are in (pre-op, surgery, PACU, post-op) and their status (prepped, ready for post-op, etc.).
  Lists of patients yet to register.
  Room and surgery suite assignments.
  The current physical location of patients.
  The location and status of equipment.
  The status of rooms (available, dirty, in use, etc.).
  
• Caregivers responsible for the patient.

Using Amelior ORTracker:

• Charge nurses can assign beds to patients.
  Surgeons, anesthesiologists, and surgical nurses can view their own schedule for the day.
  Pre-op can notify surgery of when a patient is ready to go.
  Surgery can notify PACU of when a patient is complete with surgery, and PACU can then assign a bed.
  Pre-op can see which patients have been registered and which have yet to arrive at the hospital.
  
• The entire department can be notified of roadblocks to a patient's progress (e.g., the patient hasn't arrived yet or no H&P has been performed).

Amelior ORTracker gives you the information your staff needs to move patients through you department as efficiently as possible with just a click or two of the mouse. Data is automatically collected through the integration with real-time locating systems and interfaces to your surgery scheduling system, nurse call and wireless telephony devices. Amelior ORTracker , like its companion Amelior automatic tracking solutions, is compatible with all leading forms of locating technologies including infrared, active-RFID, ultra-wideband and Wi-Fi systems. With real-time locating data collection and the integrated business process intelligence of Amelior ORTracker , busy caregivers do not have to manually enter data to maintain a complete picture of the care status of all their patients in the department.
