Profiles & Operations > Operation: Submit SERIS OR Case Bundle

OR Case Introduction & Overview

The SERIS OR Case captures an operating room encounter where a patient is expected to receive one or more surgical procedures at different points of business flow; when case is scheduled, performed, or cancelled. Changes to the OR Case shall be relayed in near real-time upon modifications in the source system.

An OR Case is a container for information about an operating room encounter where a patient is expected to receive one or more surgical procedure(s). The OH-SERIS product collects data from two types of OR Cases. The type primarily relies on when the procedure was scheduled.

  • Elective Case: Elective case are non-urgent medical procedures and surgeries that can wait for the day that surgery is scheduled. Those procedures are planned in advance and are not essential to the survival of the patient.

  • Add-On Case: Unplanned OR cases that are added to the OR on the day of surgery.

Cancellations:

  • Cancelled in Room: A case is considered an in-room cancellation if the patient has entered the OR and the OR is now considered contaminated and requires turnover.

  • Cases entered in Error: Identifies an OR case that was entered in error.

  • Same Day Cancellation: The Cancellation Date is the same day or after the Scheduled Surgery Date and the case was scheduled one or more days prior to the Scheduled Surgery Date. This type of cancellation is applicable to elective cases only.

  • Cancelled in Advance: OR cases that have been cancelled prior to the Scheduled Procedure Date.

A Rescheduled Case is a Cancelled OR Case that has been rescheduled. Two events are required to reschedule an elective OR Case. The original scheduled OR case must be cancelled first. A new OR case is scheduled with the new scheduled surgery date (the new date can be sooner or later than the originally scheduled date).
