Lower cost per case.

MYL PrefCard Sync

PrefCard Sync learns how surgeons operate to keep preference cards up to date and right-size instrument trays with SPD, reducing supply and reprocessing costs.

The Synchronization Gap

Practice evolves. Preference cards don’t.

Keeping preference cards current is still a manual, fragmented process. Updates compete for surgeon and staff time and move through multiple handoffs. As a result, preference cards often lag behind actual practice.

Automatic Preference Card Synchronization

Stop Reviewing Preference Cards One by One

  1. 1

    Compare

    Continuously compares preference cards with actual surgical practices.

  2. 2

    Identify changes

    Flags targeted updates based on what is done in surgery.

  3. 3

    Route for approval

    Sends each recommendation to the right person for review and approval.

  4. 4

    Update the EHR

    Automatically updates the EHR once changes are approved.

Optimize more than the preference card.

Design trays around how the case actually runs.

PrefCard Sync analyzes not only which instruments are used, but how they are staged, opened, and deployed during the case. PrefCard Sync works with surgeons, OR teams, and SPD to determine whether changes to tray composition or organization could simplify setup without compromising clinical requirements.

  1. Observe

    Captures instrument use, staging, opening sequences, and setup times in the OR.

  2. Redesign

    Applies MYL’s tray recategorization algorithm to redesign tray composition and organization for faster, simpler setup.

  3. Validate

    Works with surgeons, OR teams, and SPD to validate changes and ensure clinical requirements are met.

  4. Measure

    Measures the impact on setup time, reprocessing workload, and supply utilization.

Two instrument trays with unused instruments highlighted in red, consolidated into one smaller tray holding only the instruments the case uses.
The result

The result is smaller, more standardized trays, less duplication, faster setup, and less reprocessing workload for SPD.

Standardize surgeon preferences

Reduce unnecessary instrument variation where it makes sense.

PrefCard Sync identifies variation in instruments, supplies, and implants across similar procedures, works with surgeons and OR teams to determine where standardization makes sense, implements approved changes, and measures the impact.
