We are opening a new OR suite and the OR director would like specialty carts in each OR room. These carts will contain items that were not on the physician preference card but are needed for the case. These items on the specialty carts can be both patient chargeable and non-chargeable. These items are also already tied to a bin in Lawson. If we make the specialty cart a par cart, the OR will be expensed a 2nd time when our IC500 is interfaced from Cerner SurgiNet. We need away way to keep inventory stocked on these carts, get the IC500 when iut is issued, make sure the patient is charged where applicable, and not expense twice. We are looking for ideas to prevent us for going manual process to keeping these carts stopped.
