Loaner Tray Management Challenges

Like many large academic institutions, UC Davis was facing significant challenges with their loaner tray
management
workflow. On average, loaner trays were being delivered just six hours before scheduled
surgeries, creating a stressful environment. This last-minute rush often led to delays and even the need to
reschedule surgeries, impacting patient care and operational efficiency.


UC Davis aimed to enhance surgical efficiency and operational outcomes by streamlining the loaner tray
management process. They wanted to reduce administrative burdens and minimize delays, and they
sought to create a more reliable and predictable system that aligned with their commitment to excellence
in patient care. UC Davis subsequently launched a search for a new product request that aligned with
these goals and chose ReadySet Surgical as a partner.

ReadySet Results

ReadySet Surgical improved the delivery time of loaner trays from an average of 6 hours pre-case to 2.5 days prior to the scheduled surgeries. This 900% improvement eliminated delays and the need to reschedule surgeries due to late loaner tray delivery.
