CHICAGO, IL, UNITED STATES, May 28, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) are increasingly turning to O.R. TRAX to solve a high-cost, high-risk problem: uncoordinated, manual vendor access into operating rooms. With its real-time scheduling alerts and credential enforcement platform, O.R. TRAX is helping facilities eliminate 6-figure annual losses while strengthening compliance and safety protocols inside one of the most sensitive clinical environments—surgical suites.

“Every minute of OR downtime matters—but what’s often overlooked is the risk of allowing uncredentialed or late vendors to disrupt patient flow,” said Todd St. Louis, Co-Founder and COO of O.R. TRAX. “This isn’t just a financial problem. It’s a clinical operations and safety issue, and we’re helping providers close the gap.”

💸 ANNUAL LOSSES FROM VENDOR-RELATED DELAYS TOP $300K PER SITE

Across all ASCs and hospitals studied, O.R. TRAX found:

⏱️ 80–100 HOURS PER YEAR LOST coordinating vendor access

🕒 24+ SURGICAL HOURS PER YEAR WASTED due to vendor issues

💰 $155,000–$316,800 PER YEAR in preventable OR downtime costs per facility

Late arrivals, unclear schedule updates, and incomplete credentials were all found to be driving unnecessary wait times, surgical delays and lost case volume.

🛡️ SAFETY AND COMPLIANCE AREN’T OPTIONAL—O.R. TRAX MAKES THEM AUTOMATIC

Operating rooms are among the most regulated and risk-intensive environments in healthcare. O.R. TRAX strengthens frontline OR safety protocols by enforcing:

🔐 CREDENTIAL GATING: only fully credentialed vendors can view case schedules

📲 REAL-TIME ALERTS: reps receive schedule updates instantly when approved

📱 TOUCHLESS iBadge check-in, eliminating shared surfaces and paper logs

🧾 DIGITAL ACCESS LOGS time-stamped and audit-ready for infection control and accreditation teams

The result? No missed credential reviews, no handwritten sign-in logs, and no unscheduled vendor walk-ins.

“From a compliance and safety perspective, O.R. TRAX has been a game-changer,” said a perioperative administrator at a multi-specialty ASC. “We can now verify, track and control vendor access without chasing anyone down.”
