Preference Cards That Work

To provide real value a preference card must be a summary of elements critical to the success of the surgical procedure. This includes not only which supplies are to be picked for the procedure, but which items are to be held unopened until requested. Not only a list of equipment, but where that equipment is to be positioned in the surgical suite. Specific information about how the patient is to be positioned, what activities must be completed before prepping and draping. A preference card must provide significant value to the surgeon, circulator, scrub technician, anesthesia provider, and Surgery Department leadership. And not only must each card provide information to support efficiency and effectiveness, it must be a vehicle for collection of valuable data related to surgical costs, surgeon standardization, opportunities for component consolidation, supply chain performance, and other key metrics.

OR Forge is a flexible program of software and services that support the provision and maintenance of preference cards which really work. From cloud-based servers to on-site clinical and supply chain consultants, OR Forge will be your partner in driving efficiency, value, and quality surgical patient care.
