The Institut Mutualiste Montsouris in Paris has become the first European site to implement Picis perioperative software to improve efficiency, reduce costs and automate clinical documentation in its surgical areas.
The institute will use the Picis Total Perioperative Automation suite of products to help its hospitals increase efficiency, reduce costs and improve the quality of care through every aspect of surgery.
Picis say the software is already used extensively in the US and offers hospitals the ability to achieve significant efficiencies.
The Picis Total Perioperative Automation suite is part of the CareSuite family of software, designed to provide a unified system covering clinical, administrative and business components needed to operate the perioperative suite efficiently.
The software also aims to help clinicians improve surgical outcomes and reduce medical errors through better documentation, improve communication by decreasing repetitive documentation and phone calls, and improve clinician and patient satisfaction
“Choosing Picis Total Perioperative Automation suite was a strategic decision, which supported our desire to be at the forefront of healthcare technology in France,” said Jean-Michel Gayraud, chief operating officer at IMM.
“The Picis solution helps physicians and nurses to work on an accurate integrated record, increase staff efficiency, reduce costs, improve communication and help to improve the quality of patient care.”
Picis Total Perioperative Automation functionality includes operational/management reporting and analysis, surgical scheduling , patient tracking, resource utilisation, inventory management, and clinical documentation for anesthesia and recovery room providers, surgeons, operating room nurses, and administrative staff.
Any data collected and documented is available wherever and whenever it is needed — allowing staff and management to improve the performance of the perioperative suite and take greater control of the entire surgical workflow. It also integrates tightly with other hospital care areas such as critical care.
“Total Perioperative Automation is the optimum solution to efficiently support hospitals through their computerization projects. It supports clinicians, department heads and executives who expect the best technology in their high-acuity areas without compromising their hospital-wide IT strategies,” commented Philippe Mabille, Picis general director for France.
