Bug fix: Minor Render Issues

We fixed some minor render issues that you may have noticed. Specifically the “Clear Filter” button text rendering off center, as well as some tables rendering oddly when the report first loads.

Urgency filter added to OR Volume & OR/PACU Occupancy

We had a customer request to add a filter on OR and PACU the Occupancy reports. This is useful for several things for example: identifying if late cases are elective, add-ons-or emergencies, and seeing how the urgency mix changes over time. This different urgency’s captured are specific to what comes out of the EHR so it will be different at each facility. If you’re already sending us this data, you’ll see it in your reports immediately. If you’re not currently sending us this data, reach out to our support team and we’ll work with you to get it into the system.

Improved Case Receipt Email

We’ve updated the case receipt email (that’s been shown to raise quality standards and reduce surgical costs) to include additional metrics and historical data to help give more context. There’s a new section that gives 3-month averages for the surgeon and for all surgeons in the facility for that specific procedure. Below is a sample of that section.
