Case Trak 360 • Paperless – Track the set – Track the Steri. Tite container – Electronic count sheet visualization
Case Trak 360 • Instrument Tracking from decontamination to the operating room • Traceability from the instrument set to the patient • Prompts, SOPs and Visualization
The Purpose • To establish procedures for tracking surgical instrument sets and devices • To progress from manual to electronic data collection • To identify where sets and devices are in the process • To access reports to increase efficiencies • Enhance training and education • Optimize instrument inventory • To improve patient outcomes
Procedure • Each instrument set is assigned a unique bar code number. • Each employee is assigned a unique number. • Employees are trained to scan in their ID number and to scan each set into the system. • An administrator establishes the count sheet and reviews transaction reports. • A count sheet or pick list is displayed for correct assembly.
Scan Locations • • • Decontamination Prep and Pack Sterilization Inventory Case Cart Staging Area OR
Administrator Duties • • Creating the item dictionary Creating sets and adding devices Creating the Count Sheets Creating Assembly Instruction Sheets Establish priorities Managing the barcode creation Training staff
