Patient safety reminder prompts include antibiotic re-doses, tourniquet management, patient repositioning and more, preventing potential patient infection or injury during surgical cases. Since the system provides information in real-time, it enables healthcare providers to feel confident they are receiving the most current patient and procedural information. S.A.F.E. Situational Awareness for Everyone Display provides smooth patient hand offs from the OR to PACU after every procedure.
