Manual screening delays cases, creates documentation gaps, and varies by provider. OpReady standardizes and automates your pre-operative patient screening — from intake to risk score in under 30 seconds.
✓ 24 conditions screened ✓ ASA risk scoring ✓ HIPAA-ready
The Problem
Pre-operative screening for anesthesia involves more than a checklist. It requires structured data collection, clinical pattern recognition, and consistent documentation — applied to every patient, every day, regardless of staffing levels or schedule pressure. Manual processes fail on all three.
Pain Point 1
Phone tag with PCPs, incomplete records from referring offices, and missing medication lists routinely delay morning cases. Each delay has downstream OR cost consequences that compound through the day.
Pain Point 2
Different providers screen for different things. What one CRNA documents thoroughly, another abbreviates. When billing audits or adverse events require reconstruction of pre-op decisions, inconsistent records create liability exposure.
Pain Point 3
Sleep apnea, uncontrolled diabetes, MAOI use, recent cardiac events — these matter. In a busy practice running 15+ cases a day, even experienced providers miss flags when they're pulling data from fragmented sources under time pressure.
The Solution
OpReady doesn't replace your clinical judgment. It makes sure you have everything you need before you apply it. Patients complete a structured digital questionnaire before their procedure. OpReady's AI engine processes every response against your screening protocol and delivers a complete assessment to your queue.
Solution 1
Patients complete intake at home via a secure text or email link. Data arrives in your queue hours before the case — no calls, no chasing down records.
Solution 2
Every patient goes through the same protocol. Every assessment uses the same structured format. Every provider sees the same documentation standard — regardless of who's on that day.
Solution 3
The AI flags risk conditions systematically — not probabilistically. If a patient answers yes to MAOI use, that flag surfaces. Every time. No fatigue, no distraction, no variance.
Coverage
OpReady's screening protocol covers the full range of conditions that affect anesthetic planning and peri-operative risk. No condition is optional — every patient gets screened on every flag.
In Practice
Practice Scenario
Consider a high-volume ambulatory surgery center with a two-provider anesthesia team. Pre-op screening was done by phone and fax the day before each procedure — a process that consumed 45–60 minutes per provider per morning and routinely missed documentation gaps only caught at the pre-op huddle.
After switching to digital AI-assisted screening: patients receive intake links 48 hours before their procedure. By 6 AM on case day, every patient in the queue has a completed AI assessment with risk score, flagged conditions, and a structured summary. The pre-op huddle shrinks from 20 minutes to five.
The highest-impact change isn't time savings — it's that the team started catching conditions they were previously missing. Not because they were careless, but because a standardized AI process is more consistent than memory under schedule pressure.
