Using continuous improvement (CI) methods, we aimed to eliminate instances of missing make, model, & manufacturer (3M) information in the EMR for patients recovering in the PACU after an implant procedure. We also aimed to reduce CT/MRI technologist search time for implant information in the EMR to ≤ 5 minutes. Read More
