Perioperative

RES-Q® Perioperative Resource Management is a web-enabled surgery scheduling and management system designed to provide your organization with the tools to more effectively manage your operating room resources.

Its comprehensive design includes a personnel management system that supports unlimited employees, a procedure scheduler that automatically conflict checks for equipment, surgeons, anesthesiologists, room availability, and key personnel, surgeon specific preference cards, and supply pick lists.

The system supports block, first come-first served, manual, and "to follow" scheduling methodologies, tracks equipment, room, and block utilization, and supports in-room perioperative charting with automatic calculation of case costs and revenues, including supply, equipment, implants, and drug costs and charges.

The system also includes modules for staff credentialing, staff scheduling, surgeon profiles, preference cards, implant registries, inventory control, equipment maintenance records, PNDS care plans, management reporting as well as a custom reporting writer.

RES-Q believes that clinical staff should take care of patients, not computers. Through our Quick Charts™ Technology, RES-Q enables clinical staff to complete their documentation quickly and accurately – by the time even the shortest cases are finished. RES-Q's extended documentation screens incorporate the AORN Standards, Recommended Practices and Guidelines for all perioperative documentation with an intuitive "Tab Interface" that makes it easy to quickly move to each documentation area. RES-Q's complete "end-to-end" charting facilitates continuous operational improvement along with measurements of performance against JCAHO standards.
