SurgiDat Software applications are delivered in Australia, New Zealand and throughout North America. SurgiDat’s software solutions cater for whole facility information or can be deployed at a department or even a layered level in Surgical and Acute healthcare facilities.
OR Today interviewed SurgiDat CEO and President Todd Kemp to find out more about the company and its innovative solutions.
Q: Please explain your company’s core competencies and unique selling points.
KEMP: SurgiDat enables department and multi-department communication, coordination and quality through financial, materials and clinical systems. SurgiDat brings disparate systems together and provides seamless point-of-use, interactive, production, workflow coordination and quality control software solutions layered on existing systems.
Q: What are some advantages that your company has over the competition?
KEMP: SurgiDat is a grass roots company, we listen to our customers and have the ability to enhance or integrate systems rapidly to support their specific needs. SurgiDat has a wealth of production knowledge to help our customers reach their full potential in automating systems and procedures – just let us know what your need is!
Q: What are some challenges that your company faced last year? How were you able to overcome them?
KEMP: One of the major challenges is while SurgiDat incorporates the three silos of health data and manages this across all disparate departments – hospitals are still not set up at the executive level to cope with decision-making across these areas within their health systems. It is a major challenge to find the correct person within a health system or facility who understands the total picture and has the authority or willingness to make decisions that would allow data and outcome driven production changes, through Episodic Pathways™ and Care Redesign. SurgiDat “Layers into health systems to provide a NEW functional view and workflow for end users, while keeping the existing systems in place.”
SurgiDat is seeing a growing trend by CMS driving Accountable Care Organizations which essentially is asking hospitals to do what SurgiDat provides out of the box through managing quality and financial Episodic Pathways™ across the complete continuum of care providing the basis for Care Redesign through process control.
Q: What product or service that your company offers are you most excited about right now?
KEMP: Two Exciting Systems that are simple but very effective in the delivery of services to OR cases and quality surgical outcomes.
