Perioperative Management

Perioperative Management

Efficient clinical supply management can be challenging for operating room staff. In fact, 42.4% of perioperative inefficiency is linked to increased costs, decreased patient satisfaction, and, most importantly, increased patient morbidity.¹ We believe that a collaborative approach between materials management teams, clinical practice teams, and vendor partners is essential for driving positive change. That's why we've partnered with clinical and supply chain experts, including many Lean Certified CNORs, CSTs, and CFAs, to create Medline's Perioperative Resource Center. Our comprehensive approach streamlines perioperative supply flow, delivering the right product at the right time to help improve patient satisfaction and enhance patient outcomes.

The Benefits of Perioperative Management

• Customized Recommendations for Incremental Savings
  We help healthcare organizations achieve cost savings through standardizing care with SKU consolidation and finding clinically equivalent cost savings items. 
  
• Enhanced Processes
  Our processes help healthcare professionals learn how to decrease touchpoints, which decreases the risk of sterile field contamination from opening single sterile items and traffic in the OR. We also offer kitting to help HCPs spend less time picking supplies and more time with their patients, and decreased turnover time to maximize FTEs.
  
• Pack and Instrument Standardization
  We offer intuitively designed products that are paired with utilization recommendations to support best practices. This includes pack and instrument standardization, so that every surgical team has what they need, when they need it, every time. Regular pack reviews decrease waste and inefficiencies, and every patient receives the same standard of care for every case.
