Introduction Background PeriOp Manager is a VA-specific software system that provides large display board technology so that the entire perioperative staff is aware of patient, equipment, and operating room status in real time by integrating with VistA, the facility s Anesthesia Record Keeper, and physiologic monitors. It communicates with the VA email system to provide timely alerts to individuals for actions. With PeriOp Manager, perioperative services efficiency is increased while maintaining a high level of patient care. Web-native, PeriOp Manager is accessible from any authorized workstation and can be shown on wall displays throughout the perioperative suite. PeriOp Manager Includes four workflow specific modules, one analytic option, and a LiveData Analytics Package. These modules are as follow: A. PreOp Board: PeriOp Manager provides a dedicated PreOp Board with large-screen wall and workstation displays or Apple iPads for mobile users to provide staff with full situational awareness of the patient surgical preparation process. Serving as a dynamic checklist, the PreOp Board presents a single operational picture for quick assimilation of the day's preoperative case workflow. With continually updated information readily accessible, caregivers are able to assume responsibility over their workload and prioritize their activities effectively while ensuring patients are safely and efficiently prepared for surgery. For each case, PreOp Board shows patient/procedure/staff and OR room readiness. Examples of PreOp Board milestones Include: Patient On /Off Floor Antibiotic Status H&P Complete Consent Site Marked Circulator RN Visit Lab Status Nurse Assessment OR-Dashboard with Active Time Out: OR-Dashboard: PeriOp Manager s patient safety solution for keeping all members of the surgical team fully focused on the patient during surgery. The display presents a comprehensive, continuously updated view of the surgical case from setup to closing, making essential information on the patient and procedure always available. It also actively helps the team meet VHA, The Joint Commission, and CMS mandates with reminders, electronic checklists (Active Time Out), and other real-time tools for facilitating best practices. Providing comprehensive real-time situational awareness and embedding patient safeguards, OR-Dashboard equips surgical team members to work more effectively as a team and achieve full compliance with patient safety directives from The Joint Commission and the VHA Directive 2010-023 Ensuring Correct Surgery. (http://www.va.gov/vhapublications/ViewPublication.asp?pub_ID=2243). Active Time Out provides a fail-safe method for ensuring full compliance with VHA. Directive 2010-023 Ensuring Correct Surgery. Active Time Out standardizes and systematizes the Surgical Safety Checklist, equipping the OR team to perform Sign In, Time Out, and Sign Out correctly and consistently in every surgical case to prevent surgical errors called Never Events . As the OR team performs the checklist, Active Time Out automatically time stamps and records responses. Results are compiled, aggregated, and delivered via PeriOp Manager Analytics package. With Active Time Out electronic checklists, hospitals have a reliable method for performing and monitoring all types of surgical checklists. OR-Schedule Board: View the current day s surgical caseload on one large screen or iPads for mobile users, aggregated view in real-time. The display shows the current status of all surgical cases and operating rooms, thus enabling perioperative managers the ability to focus on the progress of cases while proactively canceling or rescheduling cases to allow for best operating room utilization. With bi-directional flow of data from and to VistA, this case canceling / rescheduling functionality is automatically reflected in VistA, thereby streamlining documentation practices at the VAMC. OR-Schedule Board prevents perioperative bottlenecks that result in increased unplanned overtime expenditures and decreased patient and staff satisfaction. Family Waiting Board: Families are able to track the progress of their loved ones as they move through the perioperative process on PeriOp Manager's HIPAA sensitive, large screen display. B. Analytics Software Package: PeriOp Manager also currently offers VAMC sites an analytics package which Includes reports (listed below) for each of the PeriOp Manager modules. Reports can be accessed from user PCs or from iPad devices. Analytics Packages Predefined Reports: 1. PreOp Board Total time to complete PreOp prep/checklist process Total length of stay in PreOp Order in which the PreOp prep/checklist was completed Time to complete each PreOp Checklist item Time Patient occupied PreOp bed/bay after PreOp checklist was completed 2.

Requesting Support DSS Support Services staffs over 30 VHA-dedicated resources in its VHA Support Services department. These resources have been trained in DSS VHA Support Services and VHA s processes and procedures. Additionally, they specialize in various DSS Products which makes them the subject matter experts for the DSS Products they are assigned. DSS VHA Support Services are considered second level support for the VHA IRMS staff and as such can only be initiated by the VHA IRMS staff. Selecting a Priority Using the table below the VHA IRMS staff should select a priority that best matches the severity and impact of the issue being reported. Priority Initial Response Follow Up Response Criteria 0-Critical 1 Hour 2 Hours Critical An urgent incident is a catastrophic incident of an operating environment where production systems are severely impacted, down or not functioning or an issue exists which may impact patient safety. A critical case requires continuous, 24x7 attention until resolved. Under this scenario, one of the following situations may exist: Patient safety issues as defined by VA Directive Number 19-0201 ""Patient Safety Notifications,"" June 2004 Loss of production data and no procedural work around exists. Complete loss of a core organizational or business process where work cannot reasonably continue. Systems that have failed over into backup or redundancy mode, or that have cut over to Continuity Management or similar availability. Examples: Site is down (server crash). One or more applications are inaccessible to all users. No workaround is available. Any issue where data completeness or accuracy is in question. 1-High 2 Hours* 22 Hours (2 business days)* High A high incident is a problem where a system is functioning but in a severely reduced capacity. The situation is causing: Significant impact to portions of the business operations and productivity. No loss of production data and / or a procedural work around exists. The system is exposed to potential loss or interruption of service. Includes incidents that significantly impact development and/or production, but where an alternative operation is available Examples: One or more users impacted from completing their task but workaround exists. Trainers or installers are on site and their activities are impaired or halted. 2-Medium 4 Hrs* 33 Hours (3 business days)* Medium A medium incident involves partial non-critical functionality loss. A medium incident impairs some operations but allows the user or an application to continue to function. This may be a minor incident with limited loss or no loss of functionality or impact to the user's operation and incidents in which there is an easy circumvention or avoidance by the end user. Examples: Quarterly update, one or more components are more than one quarter behind. Any component not installed on workstation(s). 3-Low 8 Hrs* 44 Hours (4 business days)* Low A low incident has no impact on the quality, performance or functionality of the system.
