The Verisurg/Alcon team faced several critical challenges in modernizing their platform for surgery management, particularly in addressing inefficiencies and meeting evolving healthcare standards. Below is a detailed breakdown of the issues:

Complex Communication Between Clinics and ASCs:

Fragmented communication channels caused delays, data duplication, and coordination errors. This lack of integration hindered seamless updates and collaboration between stakeholders.

Manual Surgery Scheduling:

Labor-intensive scheduling processes led to overlapping or missed bookings, reduced efficiency, and limited scalability for managing higher surgical volumes.

Inefficient Inventory Management:

Manual tracking methods resulted in overstocking, shortages, and lack of predictive insights, disrupting surgery readiness and increasing operational costs.

Paper-Based Consent Forms:

Managing patient consents on paper was time-consuming, error-prone, and insecure, complicating storage, retrieval, and compliance with data protection regulations.

Limited Real-Time Operational Visibility:

Absence of real-time tracking tools made it challenging to monitor patient flow, surgery progress, and OR availability, leading to inefficiencies and delays in decision-making.

The Verisurg platform was designed and deployed to tackle these challenges with robust, scalable components and innovative features:

Surgery Management System:

Developed a role-based web application to streamline patient registration, surgery scheduling, digital consent management, and automated workflows for clinics and ASCs.

Inventory Management System:

Integrated real-time inventory tracking with MyAlcon360, enabling predictive ordering, usage analytics, and automated reordering to ensure readiness and cost efficiency.

Real-Time Operational Visibility:

Implemented tools for OR time tracking, patient flow monitoring, and real-time status updates, improving coordination and reducing delays.

Security and Compliance Framework:

Ensured HIPAA compliance with secure data handling, role-based access controls, audit trails, and encrypted transmission to protect sensitive patient information.
