CareFusion expands perioperative offerings

CareFusion has expanded its Pyxis perioperative offerings that integrate with operating room information systems (ORIS), incorporating radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology and new services. 

By integrating Pyxis ProcedureStation system with a hospital's ORIS, CareFusion said it is seeking to improve revenue cycle management.  The new offering incorporates surgical supply information into patient records and increases preference card, as well as case pick/costing accuracy, CareFusion said.

The Pyxis ProcedureStation RFID system provides a single point-of-access for dispensing of high value inventory, according to the company.

CareFusion's perioperative integration partners include Picis, Surgical Information Systems and Epic Systems.
