WorksTM and other Surgery Programs
The following comparison chart details the benefits of the Surgery WorksTM system versus other leading surgery preparation software packages.
| Surgery WorksTM | Other Surgery Programs |
||
| Security and User Access |
Surgery WorksTM provides 4 levels of access allowing you to control who can add, edit, delete or just have the ability to view the data. |
Other scheduling applications provide a single level of access, which could result in accidental or un-intentional changes by other staff. |
|
| Complete Customization Control of Forms, Fields and Standard Reports |
Surgery WorksTM allows you to make form, field and standard report modifications including adding or hiding fields to all patient profile and surgery forms by yourself and at no additional cost. |
Other scheduling applications will allow for changes but usually require the software vendor to make those changes for an additional charge. |
|
| Complete Electronic Records Capability |
Surgery WorksTM allows you to create a PDF copy of any form and report which can be utilized for sending information electronically or to append to an EMR system. |
In other scheduling applications, this feature is not currently available. |
|
| Additional Software Requirements |
Surgery WorksTM is a web based application which means that you can run this application from any client machine with no need to purchase or spend time installing any additional software. |
Other scheduling applications will typically require you to purchase X copies of custom software or office software and also incur the cost of installing these programs on each client computer. |
|
| Multi-Platform Capabilities |
Another benefit of a web based application is that Surgery WorksTM can be run from a computer running Windows, MAC OS and even Unix. |
Other scheduling applications are mostly windows based and would only run from a windows computer. |
|
| A Single Data Source |
Surgery WorksTM stores all of its data in a central Microsoft SQL server database, which is easily backed up, exported and portable. |
Other scheduling applications typically require you to save each patient as a separate record, which could result in over 2500 separate files for each year. |
|
| HIPAA Security Options |
Surgery WorksTM provides you with the ability to have the transfer of data encrypted using 128 bit SSL technology. |
Other scheduling applications do not usually have encrypted data transmissions as an option. |
|
| Portability |
Surgery WorksTM can be made available to remote locations without having a need for a dedicated computer to dial in to. |
Other scheduling applications require the use of remote control software which requires a dedicated computer or server to host the application in addition to the client computer being used. |
|
| Easy Learning Curve |
If you can surf the World Wide Web, you can use Surgery WorksTM. |
Other scheduling applications may require you to have knowledge of specific material, whether it is Microsoft Access features or functions required by Microsoft Excel. |
|
| Searchable Information |
Surgery WorksTM allows you to search for patient information using multiple criteria. |
Other applications require you to save each patient separately which in turn only allows you to search for a patient in an alphabetical list. |
