Where do supplies appear in OpTime?

In OpTime, supplies play a crucial role in the surgical workflow, and they can be found in various areas relevant to the surgical process.

Preference Cards are used to outline the specific instruments and supplies for particular surgical procedures, ensuring that the OR team is prepared with the necessary items for each unique case. This helps in standardizing what is required for different surgeries and aids in inventory management.

The Intra-op Navigator serves as a real-time tool during surgeries, allowing surgical staff to access information on supplies and instruments that are being used during the operation. This feature enhances efficiency and accuracy during surgical procedures.

In Cases, supplies are also documented and tracked as part of the case management process within OpTime. This includes everything needed for the surgical procedure, enabling the staff to maintain a thorough inventory and ensuring that all necessary items are available and accounted for before, during, and after the surgery.

Since supplies are integral to all these components—Preference Cards, the Intra-op Navigator, and Cases—they collectively encompass all critical areas within OpTime where supplies are managed. Thus, recognizing that supplies appear in multiple locations within the system is essential for effective operation management in the surgical environment.
