OptiFlex SS system increases workflow efficiency and charge capture

Patewood Memorial Hospital, Greenville, South Carolina

In the outpatient surgery center of a 700+ bed system, existing methods for tracking surgical and OR supplies were inadequate and cumbersome. The facility faced challenges with inventory management, cost-per-case tracking, and efficient charge capture.

To address these challenges, Patewood implemented Omnicell’s OptiFlex™ SS surgical supply system, which uses a combination of open shelves and closed architecture to track surgical and operating room supplies.

Patewood Memorial achieved these benefits:

• Better cost tracking and charge capture
• Reduced inventory costs
• More time for materials management to pick cases
