Missing surgical instruments cost organizations hundreds of thousands of dollars each year and prompt surgical procedures to be cancelled, according to Purdue University. To prevent such resources from being wasted, Censis Technologies has released CensisAI2 Instrument Recovery.
The newest module of the CensisAI2 interactive data platform, CensisAI2 Instrument Recovery helps sterile processing departments (SPDs) significantly reduce instrumentation costs, improving interdepartmental collaboration and surgical efficiency.
“SPDs need to provide ORs with the timely and accurate delivery of instrument trays to ensure surgical efficiency, while also navigating today’s challenges of rising operational costs and workforce shortages,” Censis Technologies Vice President of Product and Marketing Yizhou Chen said. “Our new CensisAI2 Instrument Recovery solution gives sterile processing and perioperative leadership pivotal insights into lost, missing, damaged, and unused surgical instruments. The transformative benefits reduce costs and ensure the operating room is equipped with more complete trays, enhancing patient care.”
CensisAI2 puts the power of artificial intelligence in the hands of SPD organizations to provide insights to achieve operational excellence across the enterprise. CensisAI2 Instrument Recovery gives SPDs and perioperative leaders complete control of surgical instrument inventory. The solution offers cutting-edge dashboards to provide real-time status of instruments in the perioperative loop, trends, incident analysis, and facility comparison insights. Additional benefits of CensisAI2 Instrument Recovery include the ability to:
