1OR helps surgical teams verify every case before it reaches the operating room, reducing the risk of costly delays, vendor misses, missing equipment, and preventable cancellations.

The problem
Unverified equipment, vendor, implant, or room readiness can turn into costly day-of-surgery delays.
When readiness gaps are found too late, scheduled revenue can become lost capacity. Clearpath helps prevent avoidable cancellations, while Patient Swap can help recover slots that still cancel.
Facilities often spend significant staff time notifying vendors, chasing confirmations, and manually checking readiness.
Schedulers, nurses, reps, and surgeons burn time across calls, texts, and emails that are hard to track or measure.
The 1OR approach
1OR creates a shared verification layer across the surgeon, facility, and vendor ecosystem, giving teams earlier visibility into which cases are ready, which are at risk, and what needs to happen before the day of surgery.
Verification path
The procedure enters the 1OR readiness workflow.
Surgeon, facility, and vendor see the same case requirements.
Vendor, implant, equipment, facility, and SSV status are confirmed.
Unverified cases are escalated before they become day-of-surgery problems.
Capture delay minutes, cancellation attribution, vendor timing, OR value, labor hours, and communication burden.
Track vendor confirmation, case requirements, equipment, implant details, and SSV completion.
Flag unverified cases before they become day-of-surgery problems.
Quantify reduction in delays, Clearpath cancellation recovery, Patient Swap recovery, manual coordination load, and staff time recovered.
1OR pilots are designed to quantify the economic impact of unverified surgical workflows, including delay recovery, preventable cancellation recovery, Patient Swap schedule recovery, vendor readiness, Labor Coordination Value, and verified case rate.
