About Us

Surgipal allows physicians to create, edit and manage their surgery or procedure preference cards online.

Hospital preference cards are typically archaic, inaccurate, incomplete and infrequently updated by hospital staff leading to physician frustration, longer surgery or procedure times, material waste and concerns for patient safety. Furthermore, physicians on a day-to-day basis work with different OR staff who are often unfamiliar with their routine. This problem is compounded during urgent or emergent cases performed after hours or when physicians work at multiple hospitals or ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs).

Our current health care environment is in flux with a growing number of doctors changing practice locations, starting ambulatory surgery centers or doing locum tenens work. Physicians in these circumstances are inevitably confronted with the frustration of starting anew by explaining their surgical or procedural preferences. Moreover, these preferences often change or evolve in parallel with the rapid pace of technological innovation and product development.

Surgipal solves these problems by creating an online physician profile that allows doctors to create their preference cards utilizing a standard template. These preferences are presented in a simple, user-friendly manner to the OR or procedure suite staff. The physician profile can also contain other documents of use such as surgical techniques, medical studies and pictures. Access to these preferences is a simple point and click away from the operating room or procedure suite computer wherever you work. Changes can be made from the comfort of your home or in the OR and in such a way that all hospitals, ASCs or offices are immediately notified allowing you to work more efficiently and effortlessly.
