LiveData PeriOp Manager Delivering for the VA

The Department of Veterans Affairs’ (VA) wants to execute its mission of delivering the best quality care for Veterans in the most efficient manner possible. It also needs to do so in the safest way for veterans who require surgery.

Last September Jeff Robbins, founder of LiveData (a partner of DSS, Inc.), wrote an article in Health IT Outcomes detailing how the VA is accomplishing this with a cutting edge software solution. While he could not name the product in the article, he’s describing the LiveData PeriOp Manager solution.

LiveData PeriOp Manager is currently supporting the mission at 50 VA facilities every day. It is improving OR efficiency, increasing access to surgery, and enhancing surgical safety to drive better outcomes. Combining the functionality of LiveData with DSS’ VistA integration, PeriOp Manager is the most comprehensive and cost-effective solution for managing, documenting, analyzing and improving every step of the perioperative process, from pre-operative patient assessments, through surgery, to discharge to the recovery room.

Jeff wrote about the amazing improvements in performance and safety possible with PeriOp Manager:

“A VA facility in Florida, which serves a population of nearly 150,000 Veterans, implemented the solution and was able to add 1.8 additional cases per day by improving first-case on time starts from 47 percent to 82 percent, and block utilization from 70 percent to 79.5 percent. In terms of patient safety, this facility’s completion of the surgical safety checklist hit a 97 percent average and annual compliance over four years has never dropped below 96 percent.”
