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.
Key features:
- Maximize Block Utilization: We’ve improved block utilization through adaptive case averaging and block scheduling. With the addition of a single owner of a block, OR Manager enhances accountability and ensures operating room time is used more efficiently, optimizing performance.
- Optimize Tissue and Supplies Use: Leverage physician and procedure preference cards for greater efficiency.
- Comprehensive Patient Cost Capture: Append costs directly to the patient record in context.
- Confidently Schedule Surgery and PAT Appointments: Advanced scheduling tools to meet patient and provider needs.
"OR Manager allows customization of documentation ensuring the information specific to your organization is collected in an efficient, user friendly way."

Built-in tissue and implant documentation for regulatory compliance
- Documentation is readily available and documented appropriately when a regulatory surveyor walks into the OR
- In the event of a recall, a list of patients with the given tissue or implant can be easily obtained
Detailed and powerful preference cards that support global updating, case costing and implant/tissue documentation
- The preference card is selected automatically when the surgeon and procedure are added to the surgery scheduling software

Advanced tools for managing daily schedules, addressing conflicts, and ensuring optimal OR usage
- Quickly identify and resolve scheduling conflicts in near real-time with a new dedicated “issues” column that highlights the exact location of conflicts for easy adjustments.
- Rearrange daily schedules with ease by adding bookings to a queue, sorting them by age and laterality, and efficiently reassigning them to rooms or blocks. This improvement ensures smooth workflows and greater flexibility in handling last-minute changes.
