Effective perioperative communication is critical in surgical environments. From notifying surgeons of scheduling delays to updating anesthesia teams on patient readiness and alerting nurses to room turnover status, transparent and timely updates help prevent delays and improve patient care.
SmarTrack Next enhances perioperative communication through configurable, role-based notifications that ensure the right staff receive the right information at the right time.
Why Generic Alerts Fall Short
Many hospitals still rely on broad notifications sent to everyone, regardless of relevance. While well-intentioned, this approach often causes alert fatigue. When everything seems urgent, nothing is.
An operating room nurse may receive irrelevant case updates, while an anesthesiologist might miss a critical change in procedure timing buried in a group thread. These gaps in hospital alerts can lead to miscommunication, inefficiencies, and avoidable delays that impact OR efficiency.
A Smarter, Targeted Approach to Communication
SmarTrack Next eliminates these challenges with configurable, role-based notifications. Hospitals can customize alerts based on roles, responsibilities, and workflow priorities, ensuring messages are timely, relevant, and actionable.
Surgeons are instantly notified of case delays. Anesthesia teams receive alerts when patients are ready for prep. Nursing staff can track room turnover, equipment availability, and patient movement, all within one system.
This level of customization prevents unnecessary noise while keeping perioperative teams aligned and efficient.
Matching Your Hospital’s Workflow
Every hospital operates differently. SmarTrack Next adapts to each facility’s workflow, staffing model, and communication preferences. Administrators can easily configure alerts for everything from daily updates to critical notifications, aligning hospital alerts with operational needs.
Faster Responses, Better Efficiency
When staff receive relevant information in real time, they can act quickly and make informed decisions. This responsiveness minimizes downtime, avoids delays, and improves perioperative communication across departments.
If a patient is ready early, anesthesia can prepare ahead of schedule. If a delay occurs, staff are instantly notified to reassign resources and maintain smooth operations.
Supporting Safety and Patient Experience
Timely communication not only improves operations but also enhances patient safety and experience. With SmarTrack, care teams stay informed throughout the perioperative process, reducing the likelihood of preventable errors.
Patients benefit from shorter wait times, smoother transitions, and fewer miscommunications. Hospitals often see higher satisfaction scores and fewer delay-related complaints.
Building a Communication System That Works for You
As surgical demands increase, outdated communication systems can no longer keep up. SmarTrack Next empowers hospitals to define how and when alerts are sent, creating a smarter, more responsive communication framework.
Alerts become tools for coordination and efficiency, not distractions. With real-time updates and precise targeting, teams can act with confidence and maintain momentum, even during high patient volumes.
The Future of Hospital Communication
Clear, actionable communication should be standard in every hospital. SmarTrack Next delivers near real-time notifications that improve coordination, reduce friction, and enhance OR efficiency.
By giving hospitals full control over how communication flows, SmarTrack Next sets a new benchmark for perioperative communication, keeping staff informed, focused, and always one step ahead.
