Capture, prepare, and access every facet of the perioperative process
Inefficient processes can have a direct impact on patient care and be quite costly to a healthcare provider. Having better insight into OR information, status and statistics helps to support efficient surgery department workflows.
Picis OR Manager (ORM) is a comprehensive operating room management software that automates each step of the perioperative process, including scheduling, intraoperative documentation, supply chain management, revenue management and quality reporting. The ability to capture, prepare, and access every facet of the perioperative process empowers healthcare providers to focus on what is most important — patient care.
