Kordeus.SURGERY

Kordeus.SURGERY is a product, which extends Kordeus.CORE. It unifies, integrates and automates work fragments along the process chain from surgery planning to surgery aftercare into one tool.

Benefits

There are may benefits for the using clincs/practises. Most important are:

• massive time saving potential for surgery planning
• increased patient security with approval workflows before surgery
• automation of prepayment and billing processes
• surgery document management, including creation and digital signage of documents
• surgery theater and capacity planning
• integrated with Kordeus.CORE agenda

Main building blocks

• Surgery theater capacity planning - Allows to define when and where surgery may be performed at all
• Surgery templates - They allow to define the surgery planning flow, the surgery requirements and related actions.

Main process flow

• Step 1: Surgery procedure request - In a Kordeus.CORE documentation form a doctor sets a procedure to be planned with a patient.
• Step 2: Surgery automatic assignment - The Surgery Procedure Automation Engine (SPAE) immediately schedules preliminary appointments and blocks capacities according to the doctors requirements and available capacities. Eventually the main surgery appointment is already visible to the doctor during the procedure request
• Step 3: Surgery patient planning - In this process, a surgery planning officer reviews and changes (together with the patient) the automatically assigned appointments. Once the appointments are confirmed, invitations are automatically created and invitations sent by the Surgery Procedure Automation Engine (SPAE)
• Step 4: Surgery doctor planning - Before the day of surgery, the surgery planning officer locks the surgery day and digitally requests the doctor to approve his surgeries.

Step 4: Surgeon approval app

In this app, a doctor logs on and sees a list of days with planned surgeries. Each day with surgeries should show the overall medical approval status.

Once the surgeon clicks on a day, he sees the list of scheduled surgeries with his participation. The surgeon can click on each of them and sees:

• patient, gender, birthday, surgery type, surgery location, surgeon, medical ok, financial ok, paperwork ok

• relevant medical information for review on this patient (see surgery planning template administration)
• planned products, ... .
• Doctor may: OK, Request change. If change: enter text.

Step 5: Surgery app

This app shows the list of surgeries planned for the current day. The user can pick one surgery and see the medical parameters. In this app he can document the surgery:

1. pick actions from predefined actions
2. pick products from predefined products
3. add non-std. products and non-std. actions

After surgery is finished, the doctor needs to sign the protocoll.
