      <image:title>Blog - OpFlow results featured in two studies on instrument tray optimization at 2021 SAVS annual meeting</image:title>
      <image:caption>SUMMARY: OpFlow demonstrated that instrument tray usage for Cardiothoracic surgery cases was on average 23.7%, and an analytics-driven approach to instrument tray optimization enabled a 49.3% reduction of excess instruments for the service line.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - OpFlow results featured in two studies on instrument tray optimization at 2021 SAVS annual meeting</image:title>
      <image:caption>SUMMARY: Analysis of actual instrument usage collected by OpFlow demonstrated that procedure-based trays are the most efficient design, and surgeon-named trays led to the greatest amount of inefficiencies for the hospital.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Tray Optimization - Hospital Owned Trays (Internal Trays)</image:title>
      <image:caption>Hospital-owned trays grow over time and rarely get streamlined. Optimizing these trays cleans up non-compliant trays, reduces SPD workload, saves money on the re-purchase of instruments, and allows for standardization across service lines and locations.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Tray Optimization - Vendor Owned Trays (Loaner Trays)</image:title>
      <image:caption>Vendors control the trays for their cases and the hospital is unable to drive efficiency in those cases, yet are burdened with sterilization costs. By tracking vendor trays that are pulled, opened, and used during the case and capturing usage data across instrument and implant trays, OpFlow can assist in realizing opportunity for reduced instruments and trays for each procedure. Holding vendors accountable creates awareness to these inefficiencies and provides significant value to the hospital and the vendor.</image:caption>
