Norman is a CST who is circulating for Mr. Major, an 81-year-old retired Naval officer, during their hip nail-ing. Prior to the surgical procedure, the surgeon will want to see the patient’s X-rays and blood test results. There is some concern that the patient may have hepatitis B due to the jaundice. Norman is going to use the computer in the OR to access the EMR to pull up the results so they can be viewed on the monitor located on the boom. The hepatitis B results are not available yet. All other lab results are reviewed.
Documentation on the EMR of the supplies used along with tracking of the hip nail implant will be easier and more accurate due to the use of what type of systems?
