Easy-to-Use Graphical Search for Quick At-a-Glance Scheduling
The highly customizable and dynamic graphical search presents your surgery schedule the way you feel most comfortable, allowing you the easily see at a glace the “what and where” each procedure has been scheduled, and enabling your scheduler to select the best time with a point and click action for optimum user-friendliness and ease-of-use.  Your flexibility is enhanced dramatically by allowing schedulers to view all critical patient data associated with each scheduled service directly from the scheduling grid as well as the ability to reschedule, move, cancel, hold, sort, reorder, pack, bump and swap all appointments, conflict-free, on the spot for easy “day of” schedule manipulation without ever having to leave your main surgery schedule window. 

At any time during the scheduling process, both registration and insurance information for the patient can be created, viewed and/or updated as well as pre-visit insurance verification and pre-certification to assist in your revenue cycle and pre-access management goals.  Access to full registration information provides your schedulers the option to review critical patient information and follow-up action items as well as clinical and financial alerts, thus eliminating redundant data entry to streamline your entire process from start to finish, and drastically increasing customer trust and satisfaction.

Up-to-Date Information When You Need It with Unibased Systems’ Case Progress (Big Board)
For the most up-to-date surgery information throughout the surgical event, Unibased Systems ForSite2020 Surgery Management provides you with the Case Progress feature for viewing a variety of surgical cases on a “big board” window that displays the progress of each case.  Defined and maintained by you, and based upon the audience viewing the surgical big board (OR staff, anesthesiology, patients, families, physicians, etc.), the big board monitor can be set up to display multiple data fields offering a variety of different “views” for each audience, satisfying each unique need.  The Case Progress feature from Unibased Systems also provides the flexibility to color-code each case remark for ease of understanding at a glance as well as set an automatic refresh and scroll rates by time intervals, allowing each audience to receive the most current and correct up-to-the-minute progress for each specific surgical case. 

Eliminate Lost Revenue with a Pre-Surgery Checklist
To identify, organize and track the numerous questions, documents and requirements from the patient prior to the actual surgical event, Unibased Systems ForSite2020 Surgery Management provides a Pre-Surgery Checklist completely customizable and unique to your own facility.  Providing you with the ability to establish specific questions and customized criteria unique to your own surgical department, Unibased Systems’ Pre-Surgery Checklist can be accessed by patient, surgery date or surgeon directly during the time of scheduling.  With proper security, the checklist is automatically updated when one of the pre-surgery questions are answered, and can be reviewed for each patient prior to arrival for surgery so that all pre-surgery requirements are completed and the case can be started on time.  If there happens to be unanswered questions, proper arrangements can be made prior to arrival, eliminating the lost revenue that could possibly result from unattended-to critical requirements.  An automatic work queue is made identifying the patients who have not satisfied all the question requirements on the checklist, and can be monitored daily to address any potential problems prior to arrival. 

Proactively Monitor Patient Safety with Advanced Clinical Notifications
To even further optimize patient safety, Unibased Systems provides endless clinical alerts.  Completely customizable, the alerts monitor the condition of the patient throughout the perioperative documentation.  By continuously monitoring all clinical alert rules against the patient charting information to see if an alert should be triggered, ForSite2020 Surgery Management will automatically alert the user of the existing condition with a customized comment.  An unlimited number of alerts may be created, and all alerts require the acknowledgement of the message by the user before any further charting can be completed.  Additional settings determine the frequency with which alerts are monitored and presented as well as how often the automatic alert signals again should the condition(s) continue to exist after the initial alert.  These advanced clinical notifications empower you with the peace of mind you deserve when caring for your patients…just one more example of Unibased Systems caring for you so that you can care for your patients.
