Case Study: First Settlement Orthopaedics achieves streamlined, error-free scheduling and 400+ more surgeries with Surgimate

Electronic Tracking Ensures No Cases Fall Through The Cracks

First Settlement Orthopaedics struggled with a manual, paper-based scheduling process that left the office and their ASC out of sync, caused double-bookings and last-minute cancellations, and required frequent calls to check precertification status. To solve this, First Settlement Orthopaedics implemented the Surgimate App (Surgimate) to replace multiple calendars and handwritten tracking with an electronic, shared schedule.

Surgimate streamlined and automated the scheduling workflow so any staff member or the ASC can see surgery status, verify codes and equipment, and access surgeon schedules 24/7. The solution eliminated all handwritten paperwork, enabled a single shared calendar, and helped the practice process an additional 400 surgeries in 2015 while reducing cancellations and increasing throughput.
