OR supply tracking can significantly impact nurse workload, particularly in busy surgical settings.
Manual processes, such as data entry and item identification, can be time-consuming and divert nurses’ attention from patient care.
Additionally, dealing with item master exceptions, barcode scanning issues, and supply shortages can add to their workload and stress levels.
These challenges can lead to decreased job satisfaction, increased burnout, and potentially compromised patient care.
Utilizing new automated point of use system technology for more streamlined OR supply tracking resolves these issues.
