Identifying the Problem

Traditional surgeon preference cards are lengthy and often error-prone, leading to inefficiencies, miscommunication, and errors in the operating room. They are often not controlled by the surgeon, duplicated improperly, and prone to frequent modification by staff, resulting in crucial omissions and increased stress.

Issues such as prolonged anesthesia times, missing equipment, and unprepared relief staff can jeopardize patient safety and surgical outcomes.
