AUDITS, STAFFING, CONSULTING AND TRAINING SOLUTIONS
“LEAVE THE KEYS”
Advantage steps in to assist and when your goals of service have been met, our team departs, leaving you in charge. This process creates a sustainable solution for end-users to receive the best outcomes to patients, while increasing the department’s high customer satisfaction rates.
AUDITS
Using a 117-point audit platform, we provide findings in solutions from OR pre-op to post-op and everything in between. Our expertise will culminate in value-added Operating Room solutions based on our real-time experience in serving operative services.
STAFFING
We are now staffing OR professionals nationwide with directors, managers, registered nurses, RNFAs, CSAs, CSTs and center core liaisons. Advantage is already serving 90% of hospitals and ASCs in Tennessee with surgical staff.
CONSULTING
Our Advantage team has an extensive knowledge of industry standards and best practices. We have developed a wide range of cost effective programs to help your department and team operate at its best. See below for more information.
CONSULTING SOLUTIONS
Our team of experts provides comprehensive consulting solutions for operating rooms to improve patient outcomes, increase efficiency, and enhance the overall functioning of your OR.
Supply Chain Management
Advantage’s Surgical Services Supply Chain Management implements the art and science of honoring physicians’ preferences while ensuring that your facility is maximizing cost savings. Cost savings are vital to an organization for quality commodity items, as well as for stocking critical items at a rate that matches usage, delivery times, and expiration dates.
Surgical Service Line Optimization
A team is handpicked for the specific instrumentation service that is deemed most concerning to the department. The team leader will coordinate with surgical service leaders, O.R. board schedulers and vendors to ensure the Advantage processing team delivers clean, sterile, and complete trays to the end-user. The processing team will assemble and perform defined quality checks of inspection for each tray/item requested.
Developing a Multidisciplinary Team
The goal of Advantage Support Services is to formally connect the O.R, Infection Preventionist, and Sterile Processing to develop or enhance a multi-disciplinary team with the facility.
Our team will assess and deliver an action plan with a findings report “gap analysis” that compares current practice findings against best practices of AAMI, SGNA, and AORN.
Quality Oversight Program (QOP)
A key element for accreditation preparedness is a defined quality program and a designated hierarchy for addressing opportunities for improvement. The QOP is an AAMI and AORN based plan that is essential to sustain positive changes and use Key Performance Indicators in partnership with end users and the Infection Prevention department to continuously improve the products and workflow in SPD.

TRAINING PROGRAMS
