United Surgical Partners International entered into an agreement use Casetabs' cloud-based surgery coordination application at its ASCs.
Here are three things to know:
1. Casetabs will provide a central hub for case-related communication and collaboration, digital surgery boards and physician office connectivity for USPI's ASCs.
2. USPI's ambulatory healthcare provider network includes more than 9,000 physicians and 244 ASCs. "Casetabs helps us to optimize our staff's time and streamlines critical communications," said Ann Shimek, senior vice president of clinical operations for USPI. "This helps improve patient flow and ultimately helps our centers enhance the quality of care for our patients."
3. The Casetabs technology is designed to eliminate fragmented email and text chains, faxing and whiteboards by delivering real time case information and updates. Casetabs reduces touch points from 25 to five on average.
