Riverfront Surgery Centre improves patient experience with IoT enhanced surgical coordination

Ospitek, a provider of healthcare technology solutions, has announced a partnership with Riverfront Surgery Centre, a new independent surgery centre in Chattanooga. Riverfront Surgery Centre offers a full range of advanced spine, pain management, podiatry, and orthopedic procedures with a patient-centred approach to care.

The partnership involves the implementation of Ospitek’s VIEW surgical coordination platform, which leverages the power of IoT and AI to provide live patient pathway visualisation for the entire episode of care, enabling more efficient and effective surgical workflows, and real-time, fully automated communication with all surgical stakeholders, including vendors and care-takers. This implementation will enable Riverfront Surgery Centre to streamline workflows and communication, while improving patient outcomes and experiences.

“We are excited to partner with Riverfront Surgery Centre and provide our surgical coordination platform to their staff and patients,” says Slim Souissi, CEO of Ospitek. “The implementation of our VIEW platform will enable the centre to streamline surgical workflows and communication, while improving patient outcomes and experiences.”

Ospitek’s proprietary platform, VIEW, enables surgeons, nurses, anesthesia providers, and other care team members to stay connected and informed throughout the episode of care, ensuring that procedures are on time and improving patient outcomes and experiences. In addition, with mobile surgical journey visualisation capabilities, the platform syncs the physical journey of the patient to live digital journey tracking for care-takers, resulting in more efficient peri-operative care-taker communication and the on-time pick up of patients who are ready for discharge.

Dawn McElhone, administrator of Riverfront Surgery Centre, had this to say “Riverfront Surgery Centre is excited to partner with Ospitek and integrate their surgical coordination platform into our practice. Providing superior care and a positive experience, to the patient as well as their family, is a top priority at Riverfront. The implementation of VIEW is aiding in achieving that goal and we look forward to continuing to work with Ospitek to enhance the quality of care we provide.”
