The Challenge: The Hidden Cost of Bloated
Trays and Case Carts
Most surgical trays contain 30% to 70% more instruments than are actually used in a procedure. This lack of visibility extends to supplies, where static "one-size-fits-all" case carts lead to a massive, invisible drain on hospital resources:
Wasted Labor Effort
SPD technicians spend hours cleaning and maintaining instruments that were never even touched or utilized during the actual surgical procedures.
Case Cart Inefficiency
Over-packed carts lead to cluttered operating rooms and increased runner requests when the wrong supplies are prioritized over needs.
Supply Waste & Expiration
Inaccurate usage data results in disposable supplies being opened but unused, or sitting in inventory until they eventually expire.
Escalating Utility Costs
Excessive instrument volume drives up labor costs, water, chemical, and energy consumption for unnecessary and costly sterilization cycles.
Subjective Decision Risk
Without objective data, attempts to trim trays or supply lists often face resistance from the surgical team due to a lack of trust.
The Solution: OR Stats
OR Stats replaces time-consuming manual observations with automated intelligence. While traditional usage studies rely on a person physically standing in the OR to count every instrument and supply used, OR Stats leverages Computer Vision AI to document usage data across your entire surgical suite simultaneously.
How we optimize your surgical logistics at scale:
Automated Data Capture
Our SmartScanner technology identifies instrument and supply usage across many ORs at once, removing the need for any manual observers.
Intelligence at Scale
By monitoring multiple rooms, we accelerate the data collection phase, delivering objective analysis in a fraction of the time needed by other providers.
Objective Optimization
Move from subjective guesses to data-driven recommendations that allow you to reduce instrument volume by up to 30%–70% per tray.
Financial Resource Recovery
Recover significant operational resources, saving between $500k and $3M annually, by only processing what your clinical team truly needs.
Zero-Installation Footprint
Deploy standalone, battery operated, observation carts to enable capture of data without interruption to current workflows in the OR.
Custom-Fit Optimization
LayerJot parntered with OpFlow to deliver a unified solution that combines proven processes with AI-powered data capture to streamline surgical tray optimization and sustainment. By merging national benchmarks with computer-vision AI, we enhance data accuracy and implementation efficiency at every site.
