Picis Launches Total Perioperative Automation Solution in Europe

PicisPicis, the leading provider of information systems for the high-acuity areas of hospitals, has announced the European launch of Picis Total Perioperative Automation suite of products designed to help hospitals increase efficiency, reduce costs and improve the quality of care through every aspect of surgery, which is the most resource- and cost-intensive area in the hospital.

The Institut Mutualiste Montsouris (IMM) in the south of Paris, a nonprofit private hospital with over 1,100 full-time staff, worked closely with Picis in the validation of this latest version of Total Perioperative Automation suite for the French market.

Picis systems are used in more than 1,600 hospitals in 19 countries. With healthcare systems around the world investing in technology with proven return on investment, Picis Total Perioperative Automation suite offers hospitals the chance to achieve real efficiencies in the most critical areas of the organization.

Picis Total Perioperative Automation suite, part of the CareSuite® family of high-acuity solutions, provides a unified system that includes the clinical, administrative and business components needed to operate the perioperative suite efficiently, and addresses some of the fundamental issues facing healthcare providers in Europe, namely:

  • Reducing waiting lists by improving surgical throughput
  • Reducing costs through better management of resources, supplies, implants, drugs and instruments
  • Automating materials management
  • Optimizing use of limited resources ─ especially staff
  • Helping clinicians improve surgical outcomes and reduce medical errors through better documentation
  • Improving communication by decreasing repetitive documentation and phone calls
  • Improving 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 utilization, inventory management, and clinical documentation for anesthesia and recovery room providers, surgeons, operating room nurses, and administrative staff.

The flexible and highly interoperable nature of the Picis system allows hospitals to select the functionality most closely aligned to their most pressing and immediate needs. It means that the necessary 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. "This latest version of Total Perioperative Automation means hospitals can leverage Picis connectivity with other existing hospital technology to improve efficiency and provide a complete record across the continuum of care."
