SmarTrack

Picis SmarTrack^® is an interactive tool that speeds and simplifies the tracking of surgical patients through the perioperative process, from the patient’s arrival in the perioperative suite through discharge from PACU. SmarTrack tracks the status and locations of patients and resources, and compares their progress to user-defined carepaths and checkpoints. This unique solution not only displays information at a glance on customizable screens, but also proactively notifies staff when a patient is not moving predictably through the perioperative process. No other vendor provides this level of perioperative patient tracking. Such intelligent and advanced tracking saves time and money, improves productivity and promotes a smooth flow of patients through surgery, resulting in improved patient, family and staff satisfaction.

Picis SmarTrack provides:

• Intuitive online patient tracking throughout the perioperative process – Optimizes communication and patient flow with intelligent tracking of patients and resources while providing proactive notifications to ensure that patients move efficiently through the OR and notifies staff when significant events occur, helping to manage resources, reduce bottlenecks and maximize OR time
• Intelligent carepaths and notifications – Incorporates predictive carepaths in the surgical episode, including expected elapsed time between checkpoints to compare actual patient progress to predicted carepath, reducing delays
• Customized views and Big Board displays for access to timely information – Tracks and communicates patient progress with customized “views” for family waiting rooms, surgeons’ offices, admissions and other “need to know” areas on Big Boards throughout the facility or multiple facilities or through a standard web browser in a surgeon’s office, allowing medical staff, administrators and family members to know the status and location of patients at all times
• Integrated documentation to improve productivity and compliance – Reduces phone calls by providing accurate patient and resource information at the point of care and seamlessly integrates with the scheduling and documentation in Picis OR Manager, which automatically updates SmarTrack when case record information has been documented, providing a bi-directional, integrated flow of data between Picis applications
