Area of Science:

Surgical Technology
Healthcare Informatics
Quality Improvement

Background:

Robotic platforms offer surgical benefits but pose challenges for accurate intraoperative documentation.
A significant 60% error rate was identified in logging robotic surgical items in electronic medical records compared to the Intuitive platform.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate and address the accuracy of intraoperative supply documentation in robotic surgery.
To reduce the discrepancy between logged and actual robotic surgical items used during procedures.

Main Methods:

Implemented a multi-faceted quality improvement initiative.
Interventions included error notifications, barcode scanning, peer education, improved item descriptions, and procedure receipt messaging.

Main Results:

Reduced the institutional case error rate from 60% to 16.9% over two years.
Achieved a cumulative 2.1% net increase in billed robotic items.
Established a robust system for capturing robotic surgery items.

Conclusions:

Targeted interventions can effectively improve robotic surgery documentation accuracy.
Enhanced documentation accuracy leads to improved billing and operational efficiency.
The developed system provides a flexible and efficient solution for robotic surgery item tracking.
